Description

Taiwan’s Constitutional Court issued its first ruling in a year on Friday. The Court has been paralyzed since the opposition passed a bill in January that raised the number of justices needed to reach a verdict.

Now it’s saying these changes were unconstitutional, and the amendments are void -- effective immediately.

This unexpected ruling comes only hours after opposition lawmakers moved to impeach President Lai Ching-te. The day before, those lawmakers also requested the head of Taiwan’s executive branch, Premier Cho Jung-tai, be impeached.
