Franken on Judiciary
Posted: 05:44 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – Minnesota Sen.-elect Al Franken is set to have a busy first few weeks on the job.

The Democrat said Tuesday he's been told he will serve on the Judiciary Committee — the panel which will hear testimony from Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotmayor on her appointment to the high court.

Franken told reporters Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid also told him he will serve on the Senate Committee of Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, and the Senate Special Committee on Aging.

All the cry babies here are making me laugh.

The voters made their choice - deal with it.

Isn't that what the right says when they win?

Yup, and they are now going to have to live with the marxist policies of Obama/Pelosi/Reid.

I cant wait until the home inspectors show up to their homes and these fools blame Bush.

There's too many changes increasing government power, increasing taxation and limiting the choices and freedoms of our citizens to just deal with it. I understand Franken won the election but we must be vocal critics and get these far left people out of Washington. I don't want far right wingers, nor far left wingers deciding the fate of our country. Having Franken in the senate is appauling.

Oh really?

Do you want me to give you list of marxist policies and piositions that this Admn is pursuing with the blessing of the Dems in Congress?

I know you dont want to believe it because you are invested emotionally in Obama's success (which will never happen), but the reality is that Obama is pursuing a marxist agenda, with the blessing of the congeress..

O Rly? And how do you know this?

Even if Franken "outworked Coleman," that has nothing to do with the fact a lousy comedian will help select Supreme Court Justices, and every other federal judge, for at least the next six years.

Actually, comdedians, garbage workers, and a host of other people you feel are "unqualified" helped to select the judges... by voting for who they wanted to win their districts elections.

You know... The people who voted for Obama and every other Democrat in Congress right now.

I don't see anything "straw man" about it... People knew what they were voting for.

You don't think it's everyone's choice? I do.

Was referring to your comments about who I believe is qualified to serve.

More votes were cast then people who voted. Coleman screwed up his approach to the post election fight. They should have conducted a run-off.

You didn't even read the statement then... because I didn't say qualified to "serve".

I said qualified to help select the Judges... Because they voted for the people selecting them.

Please go re-read my post.
