Donovan’s Deep Dives: The battle over the constitution veers sharply into the farcicalThe current legislative speaker lacks the gravitas to force the main parties to negotiate. The Constitutional Court hears oral arguments on the constitutionality of changes to the Constitutional Court Procedure Act at the court in Taipei on May 12. Again, the Constitutional Court was out of action. The KMT caucus yesterday proposed amendments that would allow rulings of the Constitutional Court to be overturned by a public referendum. This requires half of lawmakers to propose, two-thirds of lawmakers to approve and then it would proceed to — you guessed it — the Constitutional Court.
