Al Franken won his courtroom fight to become the newest senator from Minnesota today. Norm Coleman ceded the Senate race to the former SNL actor and Air America talk show host after the Minnesota Supreme Court decided in Franken’s favor. The Democrats officially have their bullet-proof majority to end Republican Senate filibusters by invoking cloture.

Just in time for the Senate Democrats as the first major item on their agenda after the holiday break is the Cap and Tax bill that narrowly passed the House last Friday.
