So Al Franken has just won the election (again), but is still not seated. What does Harry Reid have to say?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in a statement late Monday night that, while the court said that Franken is the winner, Coleman is entitled to take his case to the state Supreme Court. "If he does so, we look forward to a prompt decision from that court so that Gov. Pawlenty can issue an election certificate and we can finally bring an end to an episode that has left the people of Minnesota without full representation for too long and has cost taxpayers too much money," Reid said.
No, he isn't fucking "entitled" to obstruct democracy more than he already has. I don't see any law saying Coleman is entitled to appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court or especially SCOTUS. If you would've seated Franken back when he won months ago, we wouldn't be needing to have this discussion at all.
And as if his idiotic statement isn't enough, Look at this:
Reid Blames Cornyn for Franken-Coleman Deadlock
Upping the ante in his crusade to anoint Democrat Al Franken the next senator from Minnesota, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is blaming Senate Republican leader John Cornyn for the impasse that has left Minnesotans minus one senator for five months now.
Responding to rumblings that Democrats might try to steamroll Franken’s coronation, Cornyn has threatened to start "World War III" unless Coleman is allowed to exhaust all of his legal options -- including an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Texas Senator also has warned that Republicans will filibuster any premature attempt to seat Franken.
Reid spokesman Jim Manley told Politico.com on Thursday: "It’s not fair to the people of Minnesota to be represented by only one senator, and it’s about time a senator from Texas stop telling the people of Minnesota what’s best for them. Enough is enough."
Are you fucking kidding me? You're the senate MAJORITY "LEADER", and you are bowing to Cornyn's demands. He can't do SHIT, but you're nothing but a dumbass doormat that lets an obstructionist caucus with 41 seats that America hates boss you around! If "enough is enough", then seat him already, coward!
Harry Reid is a completely inept idiot and I hope he loses re-election BADLY. Personally, I think he probably just misses drinking champagne with his old buddy Coleman from the "senate club" (just like Lieberman) and he wants him there instead of mean old nasty partisan Franken. Well Reid: FUCK YOU!
