He's got a new job to hold him over while he continues to sue a system that, embarrassingly, still cannot hold a close election. (Despite working for a lobby organization, he's not a lobbyist, so that he doesn't fall foul of Senate ethics. Still...how does the Senate intend to enforce their own rules? Are they going to subpeona his phone records?)
His claims seem to be almost without merit, judged on face; yet the Senate leadership isn't willing to call it like that and take steps to seat Franken and dismiss the challenges as 'political nonsense' - you know the GOP, the party of Limbaugh, would, right? (That posture could be good or bad, but ...).
Meanwhile, the Democrats are short one up on the Hill, Franken gets cheated of time as a freshman, and the Minnesotans get penalized, without any known timetable.
