A fun element of Al Franken finally being allowed to take his Senate seat after months of legal delays by opponent Norm Coleman is the response of conservative media.
And it's only going to get louder and more apoplectic over the coming weeks as Senate Dems now, in theory at least, have enough votes to counter Republican obstructionism in the Senate.
I'm sure the history Franken has with conservative media leaders like Bill O'Reilly and Boss Limbaugh will only add to the upcoming nasty right wing hysteria.
If the Rs had one a super majority, it would be a great thing and a sign from God and blah, blah, blah.
Fucking fascists.

screw 60 anyway, wasn't there some sort of "nuclear option" that was being touted a few years back?, let me think, roughly some two plus years ago? hmmm, wonder why we don't hear about that legislative theory anymore

That was the "nucular" option. Ha. I guess the nuclear option would have made Rs hot air cleaner for the environment? Well, until you dump all the waste left from it, but nevermind that.
