The conflict over the appointment of Supreme Court justices is intensifying between the Lee Jae-myung government and the judiciary. Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae refused the Blue House's request for reconsideration, arguing for his constitutional right to recommend candidates. On the other hand, the Blue House demanded reconsideration based on the president's appointment power but failed to provide specific reasons. As both sides stick to their positions without finding common ground, there are concerns that the vacancy of Supreme Court justices will be prolonged. The legal community is calling for a solution based on the balance and harmony of constitutional powers.
