An unprecedented event has occurred in which the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court responded to questions from lawmakers during a parliamentary audit.
On the 6th, during the parliamentary audit of the Supreme Court by the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae took out a prepared sheet of A4 paper and stated, "Neither the National Assembly nor the President can interfere in the Chief Justice's nomination at all."
In particular, he emphasized that consultation regarding the nomination of Supreme Court Justices has no basis in the Constitution, adding, "All past presidents have ultimately respected this right of nomination," leading to interpretations that this was effectively aimed at President Lee Jae-myung.
