Tsai’s grand justice nominees approvedCONSTITUTIONAL COURT: The KMT and the TPP boycotted the vote, but the DPP’s and the NPP’s votes were more than enough to approve the four nomineesStaff writer, with CNALawmakers yesterday approved all four grand justice nominees proposed by President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) in a vote boycotted by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP). A grand justice nomination is approved when more than 50 percent of all lawmakers vote in favor of it, which means each nominee required at least 57 votes in the 113-seat legislature. Legislators vote on grand justice nominees at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei yesterday. The party was likely referring to Yo, as some TPP and KMT legislators have cast doubt on the attorney’s competency to serve as a grand justice. With the new appointees, the number of women serving as grand justices is to reach a record five.
