Poll question: What will come first, Coleman's appeal to SCOTUS or his indictment for corruption?
There is a thread in LBN about Norm Coleman appealing to Minnesota Supreme Court. I am certain that if Coleman loses there, he will try to take the case all the way to the Roberts-Alito-Thomas Supreme Court (SCOTUS) in order to get his own version of Bush v. Gore. The question for you is:

What will come first, Coleman's appeal to SCOTUS or his indictment for corruption?

Exec says Coleman donor ordered $100K payments
Sworn statement backs allegation that Kazeminy directed fees to an insurance firm to benefit the Colemans.

By PAUL McENROE and TONY KENNEDY, Star Tribune staff writers

Last update: March 26, 2009 - 11:51 PM


The former finance chief of a Texas company controlled by Nasser Kazeminy, a close friend of former Sen. Norm Coleman, said in a deposition last week that Kazeminy ordered $100,000 in fees be paid to a Minneapolis insurance agency where Coleman's wife was employed.

B.J. Thomas, who was chief financial officer of Deep Marine Technology Inc., said that $75,000 of that sum was paid to Hays Companies even though he saw no evidence of Deep Marine receiving any consulting services from Hays.

Thomas' deposition, taken under oath on March 19 and obtained by the Star Tribune, is the first corroboration from an official at Deep Marine of allegations made by company founder Paul McKim in a lawsuit filed last year against the company.

In the two weeks before the November U.S. Senate election, two lawsuits were filed against Deep Marine -- one by McKim and one by a group of minority shareholders. In them, Kazeminy was accused of funneling payments to Hays to benefit the Colemans, as well as other alleged financial wrongdoing.
