Erosion of judicial autonomy amidst power struggle in Korea's presidential court system resembles FDR-era battles
Pumped-Up Piece:
"Hey there! Got some fresh deets on that presidential frenzy in South Korea. Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung's retrial got a new date, ain't it exciting? The Seoul High Court's pushed it back to June 18, 2025, post-election, so you know, he gets a fair go during the campaign. Originally set for May 15, the court moved it to dodge the potential chaos about the trial's fairness while he's campaigning. No worries, though, it'll still go down in full accordance with the law, judicial interference be damned[1][2][3][5]!
Meanwhile, flashback to August 14, 1935, when President Franklin Roosevelt fired up that Social Security Bill in Washington, D.C. – the same safety net Lee might need if he gets hit with the election law violation charges by the time his retrial rolls around!
