The lights are on in Sen. Norm Coleman's office but no one's home.

Coleman has been locked out of his offices in the Hart Senate Office Building and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who heads the Rules Committee, said she believes the doors will stay barred for the foreseeable future.

Because Coleman's first term officially ended Saturday at noon and he has not been certified the winner of the hotly contested Minnesota Senate race, he has lost his desk on the Senate floor and been denied official office space.

While staff answered the phones on Monday, by Tuesday no one picked up. All of Coleman's vanity photos and a framed hockey jersey are still on display but his name has been removed from the plaque outside.

Coleman can visit the Senate . Like all former members not registered as lobbyists, Coleman can visit the floor -- but he'll have no place to sit.
