MN Supremes: How does June work for you?
The Minnesota Supreme Court set its scheduling order for Norm Coleman's appeal to the election contest ruling. Briefs have to be filed by May 15th. Oral arguments are scheduled for June 1, 2009. Here's the order.
Update: Coleman attorney Ben Ginsberg released this statement on the schedule:
"We're pleased with the timetable the court has granted to prepare for this historic and consequential case to enfranchise thousands of Minnesota citizens who still wait for their voices to be heard, and their votes to be counted."
Update: Democrat Al Franken's attorney Marc Elias issued this statement:
"We are grateful that the court has issued an expedited scheduling order, and we look forward to the process continuing to move forward so that Sen.-elect Franken can be seated as quickly as possible."
