Texas Sen. John Cornyn is threatening “World War III” if Democrats try to seat Al Franken in the Senate before Norm Coleman can pursue his case through the federal courts.

Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, acknowledges that a federal challenge to November’s elections could take “years” to resolve. But he’s adamant that Coleman deserves that chance — even if it means Minnesota is short a senator for the duration.

Norm? As soon as the state court rules, it's done. Your only precedent is Bush v. Gore which the court specifically said not to use as precedent. Go take over Michael Steele's job because he's clearly too black to be a Republican, much less head of RNC.
