A bipartisan committee recounted the votes and Franken was found to be ahead by some 225 votes.
Coleman, who once said he thought that the people needed a senator more than a lawsuit, when he was ahead, now finds that those same people need a lawsuit.
Minnesota is not a hotbed of corruption, and the bipartisan committee was OK with both of them until Coleman lost.
Next week the lawsuit will be ruled on as to whether it can proceed.
To date, Coleman has lost two rulings on other grounds. This may be his last chance. Franken did not get sworn in, he didn't even go to DC.
