Coleman, Franklin prep to face off on appeal  - TheHill.com -

Monday’s oral arguments before the Minnesota Supreme Court may finally bring an end to the state’s protracted Senate race, and both sides are proclaiming readiness.

Lawyers for former Sen. Norm Coleman (R) and Democrat Al Franken have prepped for the better part of a month and a half to ready their cases after Coleman appealed a three-judge panel’s decision in an election contest handing Franken a narrow victory in the race.

      The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
     

    Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."
     
    What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.
