  President Lai has approved the legislative review of a controversial amendment requiring ten justices for Constitutional Court rulings, citing risks to citizens' rights and constitutional order. Lawmakers have 15 days to respond.

The article from TaiwanPlus News discusses the recent approval by Taiwan's Legislative Affairs Committee (Lai) to review a controversial amendment to the Constitutional Court Act. This amendment, proposed by the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP), aims to limit the powers of the Constitutional Court, particularly by restricting the court's ability to issue injunctions against government actions or laws. Critics argue that this move could undermine judicial independence and the checks and balances system in Taiwan. The amendment has sparked significant debate, with supporters claiming it would prevent judicial overreach, while opponents, including legal scholars and human rights groups, warn that it could weaken democracy by allowing unchecked legislative and executive power. The review process is set to be contentious, reflecting broader political tensions in Taiwan.
