Norm Coleman Escorted To Court By Criminal Defense Lawyer

Minnesota Post:

...Like an Agatha Christie mystery, all the key players arrived on the scene, as if reprising their performances since the recount began. Friedberg, the dapper, 72-year-old Minneapolis defense lawyer, showed up by 8:15 a.m., 45 minutes before the start of the argument, wearing his father's lucky cufflinks and spraying throat-soothing liquid into his laryngitis-afflicted throat.

Soon after, Coleman himself walked in, accompanied by his criminal defense lawyer Doug Kelley, who is handling any matters related to an ongoing FBI investigation of Coleman.

Eventually, the whole Truth would surface.
This started out an Election.
Ballots mandatorily recounted.
A winner announced.
Transitioned into an ill conceived, hate motivated Election Contest.
Dissolved into a Bad Faith, GOP-sponsored, conspiracy to delay the swearing-in and seating of the rightful Democratic winner of the Election.
Decomposed into a worthless, meaningless, time-consuming, political obstruction ploy and successful delay tactic which would, when played-out, be presented to the Minnesota Supreme Court, disguised as a bona fide Appeal of an undaunted crusading politician intent on rescuing a cherry-picked number of disenfranchised absentee voters whose ballots were rightfully rejected.
The Supreme Court Justice's wouldn't allow this Case to be heard without first sanitizing away the stench of the unscrupulous camouflage of bad faith and disingenuous righteousness that had attached itself to the Election Contest.
Once the matter had been cleansed, and come full-circle from being deformed and bastardized by the GOP Senate Committee, intent on employing any means to not seat an additional Democrat, particularly this Election’s legitimate winner, and returned to its original form of straightforward Election Contest; the Minnesota Supreme Court told Joe Friedberg, lawyer for the Appellant Norm Coleman, how absolutely ridiculous appealing this weak, unproven and detestable case was in the first place.

So the GOP is saying that judges should not make policy in the Sotomayor nomination, but Coleman wants the MN Supreme Court to do just that in regard to his case?
Should he have had his criminal defense attorney attend? It only reminds everyone that he is under investigation by the FBI.

Following is an article of interest in relation to this case:

Its ok for the GOP to have the judges make policy but if the Dems do it wellllllll thats another story. The repubs think if they close their eyes at night, the world stops. Thats why they are l00 years behind the times.
