    Fuck off Supreme Court. I have it on good authority that The President is immune to any legal action for any presidential acts.

      Meanwhile, in countries that seem to take the rule of law and democracy seriously, Yoon got life in prison for what he did. It seems that the death penalty was on the table, though.

      Back here, the orange menace just does whatever the fuck he wants and this corrupted court gave him an out for it.

        It’s a result of apathy and centralization of power. In the early 20th century there wasn’t an all powerful national party organization. Local parties represented local constituents. And people were much more involved locally.

        When the national apparatuses became viable and weren’t stomped out and eradicated. They stopped representing local constituents and started representing themselves. Locals stopped engaging with the parties because they didn’t respond to the needs of the people. Then things just kept devolving till today.
