Well, it looks like tomorrow at 11 am Central Time Norman B Coleman, jr. becomes a former United States Senator, at least for a while.
Something is wrong here. I know that 58% of those who voted two months ago wanted this to happen, but when somebody becomes a former senator, somebody else is supposed to become a current one.
The recount and related legal things continue. It looks to me like both the Canvassing Board and the Supreme Court are doing their jobs well and we need to thank them, but this whole thing is taking up too much time to have a successor qualified by the expiration of the term.
In the meantime, we will just have to hope that the rest of the Senate doesn’t abuse us and perhaps we can take comfort in the fact that the first part of a session often limits itself to preliminaries, leaving the actual passage of things until much later.
