Taiwan's main opposition party is slamming President Lai Ching-tung's picks to replace
00:04
seven retiring justices, calling it the worst list of nominees ever.
00:09
Look at this list. It's green and it's poisonous.
00:16
Citing neutrality concerns, the KMT is demanding a new list of nominees. The presidential office
00:21
says the seven nominees are highly qualified, with extensive legal backgrounds and have
00:26
progressive views on democracy and human rights.
00:29
The nominees must be confirmed by the legislature, where the opposition KMT and TPP together
00:35
hold a majority. Ruling party lawmakers say they are willing to discuss and collaborate
00:40
on the issue.
