What the Franken Victory Means
The AP ran an interesting July 2, 2009 story about the significance of Franken being seated as a U.S. Senator, available here.As they point out, 2 Democrats (Byrd and Kennedy) have been out for months. It will also give the Democrats 60 votes-which will give them carte blanche to pass legislation.

I don't think this is a carte blanche for democrats - not all democrats vote strictly along party lines, whereas the Republicans are closing ranks.
