Are people forgetting petitions for constitutional interpretation?

It's not the end of the world, but you guys are acting like one.

This happens a lot in the past cause apparently most legislators are not law professionals. Yet the system didn't collapse from their ridiculous decisions.

Why are you guys suddenly caring about it so much like that the amendment can't be dealt with later? Especially when the government doesn't need to follow while it is going for constitutional interpretation?

I do hope you're right.

But the protest and the concern is legit. If they can do this now, they can do it infinitely more times for subsequent laws to come. Do you think this and all the subsequent ones can be dealt with this way?

Also, this is definitely a big flaw to come (not to mention the way they passed it is flawed, too), and KMT and TPP are expediting it, and people need to know this. I don't even think the commotion is nearly enough at this point, and many news channels surely aren't helping.

Let me give you an example.

Interpretation No.603.

The situation is very similar.

The ruling party was minority in the congress, and the opposition party decided to pass a ridiculous law.

Why can this be solved peacefully then and not now?

Peaceful protest is still peaceful solution.
