Reply #58: The Coleman camp requested that much time for putting together their written briefs.

Franken's legal team requested less time, but the Court granted the longer time period.

Keep in mind, Coleman waited until just this past Monday to file his appeal -- he had 10 days to do so from the date of the 3-Judge Panel's ruling, and of course stretched out the time to the last minute (being the asshole that he is). The MN Supreme Court responded pretty much as soon as possible.

The Court is giving itself 2 weeks to examine the written briefs before hearing oral arguments. One of the legal experts on the aforementioned panel discussion said that the Court will probably have most of its ruling already prepared by the time of the oral arguments, so the final ruling should follow quite quickly after that date.

It will all be over by mid to late June, hopefully.
