Constitutional Court hears final phase in Ukrainian standoff
Today, Ukraine's Constitutional Court entered the final stage of hearings into whether President Yushchenko's decree of April 2 dissolving the Verkhovna Rada is constitutional. The Constitutional Court's session devoted to the decree, which officially began on April 17, is taking place in a courthouse cordoned off by police and picketed by representatives of the ruling coalition, who oppose the dissolution of Parliament, as well as of the opposition, which supports Yushchenko's decree.

Dear pumpernickel. Cordoned off is right. It started as just one block, and now extends two blocks. I went down there yesterday and not only is the riot police out, as they have been for days, but I think the army has been brought in too - there seems to be a lot more tension there than a week ago.
So I turned around and did my shopping at Furshet.
