A Football Hall of Famer Will Appoint A Three Judge Panel for Coleman v. Franken
Weird, but true.

Chief Justice will recuse himself from Coleman contest

So who does it fall to to appoint the three judge panel? Pro Football Hall of Famer, Alan Page!

6. I don't think there could eb a better choice to appoint the 3 judge panel
He will appoint judges similar to himself, which is to say fair.

8. Justice Page is a class act.
And he does everything THOROUGHLY and with great attention to detail. I think we can trust any panel he appoints to do the job right.

affirmatively,
Bright

9. Why is it weird? He went to law school, and is by all accounts good as a judge
do you have something against football players? He went to Minnesota Law School, and graduated with a degree. Al Franken got a scholarship to Harvard and graduated cum laude. Just because Franken chose comedy and Alan Page played football, it doesn't mean that they can't be smart, patriotic public servants.
