Norm Coleman’s legal team had a tough challenge to be sure — trying to find enough votes to erase Al Franken’s lead — but time and again they have shot themselves in the foot, bungling their case and doing themselves and their client no favors. As our Eric Kleefeld has observed, the judges have reacted at times with scorn bordering on contempt.
