We need his voice and vote in the Senate now more than ever, as Republicans may have their eyes on filibustering Justice Sotomayor's nomination.

3. We can continue to put pressure on Pawlenty to sign the cert of election after MSC decides. |
|
Rather than allow it to continue to the Supreme Court, potentially dragging it out several more months.

4. I think in light of the fact that Senator Franken won |
|
we should be renewing the call. The GOP should not be allowed to get away with the criminal act of disenfranchise an entire state.

It's asinine that this is allowed to continue. SCOMN should've done what was right and deny the case outright. This is reason #48597843974913779379 why we need Democratic governors, DINOs or not.

10. Yeah you definately need Dems in the state houses |
|
they usually appoint their state's judges as well. So if you want any hope of seeing justice, you need Demcratic governors appointing those judges.
