For a shepherd, I hear Shep Smith sure acts like a compliant little sheep in the bedroom. He’s not pitching... let’s just put it that way!

Seoul mayor Park Won-soon found dead, hours after he was reported missing

EXCERPT:

The mayor of the South Korean capital Seoul has been found dead, hours after he was reported missing and police launched a massive operation to find him.

Park Won-soon was reported missing by his daughter on Thursday evening, according to a police official with knowledge of the case. Nearly 600 police officers and firefighters, along with three rescue dogs, were deployed to search for the mayor.

Park’s body was found in the city’s mountains seven hours into the operation, Seoul police confirmed in a text message early Friday to journalists.

Earlier search teams had scoured Waryong Park, where police he was recorded on CCTV footage at 10:53 a.m. on Thursday. His last cell phone signal was detected in the Seoul neighborhood of Seongbuk-gu, very close to his official residence in Jongno-gu, a police official with knowledge of the case said.

The 64-year-old longtime civic activist, who has been Seoul’s mayor since 2011, was seen as a likely hopeful for the liberals in the 2022 presidential elections.

When Park was elected in a landslide victory against the ruling party nearly a decade ago — with no political ties or experience — it sparked a public frenzy. His unexpected rise to the second most powerful position in the country was seen as a sign that South Koreans were tired of traditional politics.

The former human rights lawyer, who ran independently but forged an alliance with opposition parties, championed city welfare projects and became a symbol of reform.

He was reelected as mayor in 2014 and again in 2018.

his is a breaking story, more to follow..

“We do not pretend to foretell the future, and we proceed well aware of the potential for cost and conflict around jurisdictional boundaries, especially ones that have gone unappreciated for so long,” Gorsuch wrote. “But it is unclear why pessimism should rule the day. With the passage of time, Oklahoma and its Tribes have proven they can work successfully together as partners.”

“The federal government promised the (Muscogee Creek Nation) a reservation in perpetuity,” Gorsuch wrote, adding that while Congress has “diminished” the sanctuary over time, lawmakers had “never withdrawn the promised reservation.”

“As a result, many of the arguments before us today follow a sadly familiar pattern. Yes, promises were made, but the price of keeping them has become too great, so now we should just cast a blind eye. We reject that thinking.”
**********
“The court suggests that Congress sought to ‘tiptoe to the edge of disestablishment,’” Roberts wrote. “Quite the opposite. Through an open and concerted effort, Congress did what it set out to do: transform a reservation into a state.”

NIKK..a very interesting case here and decision.
