President Joe Biden described former Saturday Night Live comedian, Sen.
Al Franken, D-Minn., as a "leading legal scholar," presumably in the
Senate, today.
"He has been one of the leading legal scholars," Biden said of
Franken today, according to the pool report. He also said that Franken
"is deadly serious" as a senator. He made the comments while recalling
concerns that then-candidate Franken could not be taken seriously as a
Senate candidate given his SNL work.
Franken's comedic spirit got him in trouble on Washington. "This
isn't ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Al," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had to remind the freshman senator after Franken made faces while McConnell spoke during the Supreme Court nomination process for Elena Kagan.
Kagan is now regarded as an able defender of Obamacare, which could
be struck after oral arguments last month seemed to indicate that five
of the nine justices regard it as unconstitutional.
