The most expansive reading of the leading constitutional cases does not remotely suggest that this Court has been granted a roving commission, either by the Founding Fathers or by the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment, to strike down laws that are based upon notions of policy...

At the last minute, the party's moderate wing, led by Legislative Yuan Member Kang Ning-hsiang, had the protest called off.

While the two factions differ on such matters as how often to hold street protests, last week's demonstration was widely viewed as a sign of unity, at least for now.
