It came in response to the Journal's rather hysterical, Franken's-stealing-the-election editorial.

Wrote Judge Edward J. Cleary:

One can only assume, based on the tone of the editorial, the numerous inaccuracies, and the over-the-top slam at Al Franken (“tainted and undeserving?”) that had [Republican] Norm Coleman come out on top in this recount, the members of the Board would have been praised as “strong-willed, intelligent, and perceptive.”

We won't hold our breath waiting for that editorial to appear.
