It took them some time, huh?

4 months is honestly pretty quick for legal proceedings. Meanwhile, we had 4 fucking years to prosecute Tariffman, with goddamn jack to show for it.

Well, legal proceedings take time. Not like they could (or should) just execute him on the spot or anything like that, it's at least supposed to be a democracy with proper checks and balances to make sure everything's in harmony with the law.

Not really. He hasn't been acting President for months, so there was no urgency for the court to force it through.
