Puerto Rico Supreme Court Ousts Governor

“The Puerto Rico Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Pedro Pierluisi’s swearing-in as governor last week was unconstitutional, extending the political turmoil that has paralyzed the U.S. territory’s government,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. Pierluisi took office last Friday moments after Gov. Ricardo Rosselló resigned in the wake of a scandal over vulgar and derogatory text messages between him and his advisers.”
