According to one observer of the Minnesota recount, reporting at the Atlantic’s new politics site (which has superseded one of my favorite political blogs, Marc Ambinder):

During the two days that I spent in the courtroom, I watched as [Franken’s attorneys] spent significant amounts of their billable courtroom hours distracted by their laptops–perusing email, browsing online newspapers, and– in the case of co-counsel and former U.S. Attorney David Lillehaug –following live-blog commentary about the trial, hosted by the left-leaning site theuptake.org (all unbeknownst to the three judge panel sitting across from them).

They know now.
