Following President Lai Ching-te's announcement to file for a constitutional interpretation and interim injunction against related 'Parliamentary Reform' bills yesterday, the Control Yuan also held a press conference today to announce the same. The scope of this constitutional case involves the President, the executive, legislative, and Control Yuan, making it the largest constitutional lawsuit in history. Lai's goal does not seem to be the outcome of the constitutionality issue but rather to add fuel to the recall scheduled for next February. By escalating the conflicts among the branches of government, Lai's strategy may lead to a stalemate where little gets accomplished during his term. Against this backdrop, Lai's bid for success through these aggressive political maneuvers could backfire, leaving both the people and the country as the ultimate losers.
