Yup, Yoon is out. Impeachment upheld.
Ok, this is really good, Yoon is out. All justices agreed, no hint of dissent. Now to the spaces outside the court, assembly, etc. — hopefully Yoon's fashy little minions will go home peacefully and have themselves a nice long cry in private.
New election to be held by June 3.

The consequences for Yoon are varied. He's now open to be tried for a whole range of crimes, including treason. He's got to leave the official residences, has no staff and, most deliciously coldblooded of all, can't be buried in any official cemetery.
They don't even want his corpse hanging around.

@mike_edwards the cemetery rule is a chef's kiss.
@jodmentum One truly does love to see it
@mike_edwards
That site doesn't render at all for me, on mobile or desktop, Firefox or Chrome.
Wonder if they're blocking Japan perhaps?
@jannem Ah, maybe, some sites here can be strange like that. Are you mobile through wifi or does it also seem blocked on 5G/LTE?
@mike_edwards
Both. Tried on laptop on wifi, and smartphone on 5G. I'm guessing it's a location block.
Anyway, I found different coverage of the news. Perhaps unsurprisingly a lot of news outlets are covering this in detail.
@mike_edwards Yooned is the new yeeted...Yooned right out of office
@johnefrancis He made my winter terrible — I hope he enjoys his fall
