South Korea | Impeachment of PM Overturned

I went back and read your post, I mistook you talking about "manufactured" homes in No Country for Old Men and Dancer in the Dark as modular homes. The only reason I said anything is b/c a friend of mine has a 3 story modular home and we still kinda joke about it, but looking into it, it's not really wrong to call trailers and mobile homes "modular homes," so I was wrong anyway...

You're right, No Country for Old Men was probably a bad call. That might have been a trailer? Been a while. Been even longer for Dancer in the Dark.

Dancer in the Dark is a bit frustrating because it's an incredibly good movie, but a) it's hard to rewatch because its so emotionally devastating and b) I can't find anyone who wants to watch it with me.
 
That was definitely a trailer. In Eastern NC parlance, a single wide...

What does a redneck divorce and a tornado have in common? Someone always loses a trailer... (I'll show myself out now)...

I feel like this situation is at times too complicated for Americans to even bother to understand while also being a very good example of what our own executive might try during his next term.

Well, in America, we would try to impose Marshall law because our GOP is so dumb.
 


“… With the impeachment vote, Mr. Yoon has been suspended from office. Under South Korea’s Constitution, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will step in as interim leader….

  • This is the third time South Korean lawmakers have voted to impeach a president. In 2004, the constitutional court overruled the assembly, overturning the impeachment of then-president Roh Moo-hyun. In 2017, Ms. Park’s impeachment was upheld unanimously. …”

If history has taught us anything (and it never did) then this guy needs to be executed.

Otherwise he will just learn how to do it better next time.

Yeah. The actual 'price' of housing means nothing without context of employment and wages. My parents were appalled by what I paid for my house and I am appalled by what my kids paid recently for theirs. My parents would be aghast if they knew what my kids paid.

I’m appalled at what I paid last year and re-appalled every month

Meanwhile the SCOTUS has given the president of the US basically immunity for anything similar he could possibly do.

Considering such a widespread immunity was basically made up by SCOTUS (in what will be known as the worst ruling in our history once a president inevitably decides to abuse the unlimited power given to him by it) there is probably no substantial difference in wording around presidential power between two countries to justify such a disparity in presidential immunity being given by the courts.

It probably just boils down to the fact that the SK court is is not a compromised and irrational body.

SCOTUS might argue that SK is acting consistently with their recent decision since Yoon was first impeached and now is being arrested.
