The Minnesota supreme court has ended the recount and declared Al Franken as the winner of the senate campaign.
So if you are following Norm Coleman's career, he has now lost elections to Al Franken AND Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Maybe he should stop running for office.

I am thanking The Universe for allowing us a majority sufficient enough for us to go forth unchecked and pass legislation that will save Mother Earth and all her children!

I read the WSJ editorial in question, and can only smirk at them - considering how they robustly supported the Supreme Court decision in 2000, and rejected claims of election stealing in 2004 (Ohio had disputes that got little air).
So, if we want to play the "it all depends on whose ox is Gored" game, we can look at the WSJ's position on the rule of law based solely on whether it helps or hinders their candidate.

Would only be true if they were the exact same court and the situation was exactly the same.
Why?
Nice try, yourself.

No, I feel that in both cases the courts probably acted in good faith, in accordance with what they believed to be the law. All that differs is the inconsistent characterizations certain outside organizations and persons of a particular political persuasion choose to impose onto the decisions.
It's the inconsistency of the observers that causes me to look askance, not the decisions.

Exactly, there was no fallacy in the response to the "typical Democrat policy". It merely illuminated the illogic of that attempted smear.

So if I punch you in the nose, and call that assault...and then I punch Hauptman in the nose and claim that that's NOT assault...either (1) that's a double standard, or (2) those are not "two different incidents". I don't think I've missed a possibilty there, have I?
Which are you alleging?

If you punch me in the nose, I call that battery.
But I never knew you had such a violent nature.

Of course, since you have the exact same incident occurring twice. If, however, you look at me quizzically and call it assault and punch Hauptman and call it assault, you're just making **** up.
