Taiwan's opposition KMT wants voters to be able to cancel Constitutional Court rulings by referendum, a move the ruling DPP calls an attack on the constitution.

• The KMT caucus has made two referendum-law changes its top priority in the legislature.
• The first would let a national referendum strike down Constitutional Court rulings, restoring laws the court had declared unconstitutional.
• The second would strip the election commission of its power to refuse to hold referendums passed by the legislature.
• Legal scholars say the court is the referee in a game, and letting the crowd vote on the result turns it into a contest of who can mobilize more people.
• The DPP says this is the legislature grabbing power from the courts and the executive branch.

Outlook: Expect a bitter fight in the legislature and near-certain constitutional challenges if the changes pass.
