"Minnesota court rules Democrat Al Franken won Senate seat."
"Coleman has said in published reports he is unlikely to appeal the state court's decision to the federal courts. Under state law, the court's decision gives Franken the right to occupy the seat, which has been up for grabs since last November's election.
"Minnesota Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty has said he will certify the election winner based on what the state court decides."
I would think the best Republican legal minds in the country are now working on ways to get it into the hands of the US Supreme Court sans Souter. And if it doesn't get there it's only because they can't think of an appropriate "emergency".
