Coleman (Mostly) Loses on Timeline for Challenge

Coleman was proposing something like 5 mini trials extending over something like 8 weeks, and the Minnesota Election Court has gone with something more expedited.

The trial will start Jan 26, assuming that Franken's motion to dismiss is not accepted on the 21st.

Length is indeterminate. A strict 15 day limit on the trial, which Franken wanted, was about the only time that they went with Coleman, so there is no hard deadline.
