Finally, after the Supreme Court of Minnesota ruled five to zero in favor of Al Franken, Norm Colman has accepted the ruling of the court.  “I will accept the the court’s decision.”  Coleman also said that he would not pursue any additional legal challenges and has already called and congratulated Al Franken on his win of the United States senate seat.  This will give the Democrats the magic 60 super majority in the Senate.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state’s long-running Senate race.

The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling.

Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibusters.
