I found out from my dad that if
President Yoon is convicted of insurrection (which he will be), there are only two possible sentences for him: life in prison without parole or death.
The military leadership that went along with his illegal martial law order will get a minimum of five years in prison.
Goddamn I'm jealous.
Trump wiggled his way out of everything and is now spraying illegal executive orders everywhere, and people in the federal government have no idea how to react to them. There aren't specific laws about some of these situations because, once again, we've never had a president do things like grant access to the Treasury to some guy that donated a lot to his campaign.
Life in Korea is incredibly hard in many ways, but because they've faced coups, corruption, and persecution of political opposition before, they have explicit laws dealing with most of those situations.
Here, maybe we'll learn from this, maybe we won't.
