Reply #15: My bet is they won't hear it.

They'd have to go through huge amounts of gymnastics to rule in favor of Coleman, and given the airtight nature of Franken's case, the lead in votes he has, and the utter incompetence of the Coleman team, I don't think they'll stick their neck out for this.

My bet is that Minnesota's Supreme Court rules for Franken in early June, issues the writ of mandamus to Pawlenty, he folds and issues the certificate and Franken takes his seat. Coleman might try appealing to federal courts, but won't get anywhere.
