South Korea's Constitutional Court overturns the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo .

The court has not yet ruled on the separate impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol .

Observers say the 7 -1 ruling in Han ’s case did not signal much about the upcoming verdict on Yoon .

The ruling could still embolden Yoon 's staunch supporters and ramp up their political offensive on the opposition.

Yoon argues that his martial law introduction was a desperate attempt to bring attention to the wickedness” of the Democratic Party .

Yoon critics counter he likely tried to use military rule to frustrate possible special investigations into scandals involving him and his wife.

If the court upholds his impeachment, South Korea must hold a presidential election to choose his successor.
