TheHill.com - Cornyn promises filibuster on Franken seating
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) threatened Friday to filibuster any attempt to seat Democratic Minnesota Senate candidate Al Franken next week.
The newly minted National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) chairman said he had not whipped votes in the GOP caucus, but added that he could not imagine any members defecting and seating Franken without a certificate of election.
Next week the Senate will look as it does today. Three weeks from now, however, it won’t. Will John McCain bolt the GOP and vote to seat The Minnesota Clown in the name of maverick bipartisanship?
