Summary
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol became the country’s first sitting leader to stand trial on criminal charges after his impeachment and arrest for allegedly attempting to impose martial law.
Prosecutors accuse him of insurrection, which could carry a life sentence or the death penalty. His lawyers argue the charges lack legitimacy, claiming martial law was within his presidential authority.
Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court is deliberating whether to formally remove him from office, with a decision expected within weeks.
If removed, new presidential elections must be held within 60 days.
An example of how the rule of law is supposed to work
Ye, the US should consider the same in light of current events. If the totally incorruptible Supreme Court continues to insist that the president is a god-king who is above the law, appropriate measures should be considered if at least a semblance of democracy is to be preserved.
I’m always flabbergasted that America got conned by this guy. Like not some vharismatic smart sweet talker, no. Donald fucking Trump. A fat guy in a diaper who can’t really reaf or talk that well and never had a smart tgought in his life.
He represents the American people.
