According to SET News, on June 24, 2024, Chen Po-wei criticized Wu Zongxian and Huang Guochang as despicable and corrupting the youth. Following the joint efforts of the blue and white camps to reject the Parliament's expansion of power and reconsideration bill, President Lai Ching-te legally announced the amendment to the 'Legislative Yuan Exercise of Powers Act'. However, at the same time, an application for constitutional interpretation and temporary disposition was also submitted to the Constitutional Court, with the interpretation expected to be sent to the Judicial Yuan this week for further review by the grand justices. On a program, Chen Po-wei expressed that the purpose of the blue and white camps tarnishing the grand justices is to subvert, as Wu Zongxian and Huang Guochang cannot return to the legal profession's growth path and authority, so they decided to enter politics, attacking those who were once on the same path in return; such behavior is truly despicable. Chen Po-wei criticized Guan Zhang for saying that the grand justices dare to rule an act as unconstitutional and calling on people to protest if so, believing it shows Guan Zhang's ignorance to treat their words as gospel, especially when attacking those like Huang Guochang, which could affect the grand justices' authority in society.
