Norm Coleman
FameRank: 4

"Norman Bertram "Norm" Coleman, Jr.," is an United States/American lobbyist, lawyer and politician. He served as a United States Senate/U.S. Senator from Minnesota from 2003 until 2009. Coleman was elected in 2002 and served in the 108th United States Congress/108th, 109th United States Congress/109th, and 110th United States Congress/110th Congresses. Before becoming a Senator, he was Mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota (1994-2002). Previously a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party/Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), Coleman became a Republican Party of Minnesota/Republican in 1996.

Coleman's 2008 U.S. Senate re-election bid, in which he was challenged by Democrat Al Franken and former Senator Dean Barkley, was long unresolved. His term ended on January 3, 2009; and, after a six-month legal battle in which he lost each decision in the process, the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously declared Franken the election winner by 312 votes (out of over 3 million cast) on June 30, 2009, prompting Coleman to concede.

In April 2011, Coleman joined Hogan Lovells, an international legal practice, as Senior Government Advisor in their Washington, D.C., office.

My concern is the integrity of the process, respect for the Senate and the subcommittee. So it's really important to clear the air, to find out what folks knew and when they knew it.

It is easy to criticize, particularly in a political season. But to lead is something altogether different. The leader must live in the real world of the price that might be paid for the goal that has been set.

Let us never forget that terrorism at its heart, at its evil heart, is a psychological war. It endeavors to break the spirit and the resolve of those it attacks by creating a lose-lose situation.

The findings from this review, I hope, will provide Congress with the requisite information to make an informed decision regarding the national security implications of a Dubai-backed company owning and operating terminals at six U.S. ports.

You're not prepared to put a mirror in front of your face and recognize your own inadequacies. Perhaps you may get a more sympathetic hearing if you had a willingness to confess your own sins in this.
