Power-grab amendments must goBy Huang Di-ying 黃帝穎During a hearing at the Constitutional Court on Tuesday, Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Legislator Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) and Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Weng Hsiao-ling (翁曉玲) were left flummoxed, despite their credentials. The KMT and the TPP cannot rationally discuss the “principle of separation of powers” as delineated in the court’s interpretations No. 585, 633 and 729, as well as the principle of legal clarity, comparative law and proper legal procedures. The court reviewed the case, thoroughly exposing the unconstitutionality of the bill, which was an attempt to grab more power. Huang Di-ying is a lawyer and policy committee member in the Taiwan Nation Alliance.
