    God, I was just breathing a sigh of relief till this poped up a moment later.

    The South Korean military says it will maintain martial law until it is lifted by President Yoon Suk Yeol, despite the nation’s parliament voting to block its enforcement, according to the country’s national broadcaster.

    Hope that’s just postureing.

      Ooh, not great. Preview of the US in January? Except for the blocking part, that’d never happen.

        Nah, even if evidence appeared at this stage showing the election was interfered with here, the damage is done, there would be no attempt to keep office. The S.C. would rule the period for recounting the votes has passed, precedent being 2000 Florida.

          True, but I was referring to when Trump declares martial law, as he said he would. There will be no opposition from his own party as there was here.

            Yeah, Republican Congress members wouldn’t attempt to stop it, they endorsed it.

              It’s possible a few might, and with the razor thin majority they have it might end up a majority opposing it, but the SCROTUS would nip any resistance in the bud regardless.

      Hopefully half heartedly because I just found a live feed of people in the streets in Seoul. So they aren’t exactly enforcing martial law yet.
