Opposition to a controversial plan by the House of Representatives to revise a law that will allow lawmakers to evaluate and remove sitting Constitutional Court justices is growing.

Lawmakers have been moving fast to push the revision to the Constitutional Court Law less than six months after the plan was put on the table in late September, the same time when the lawmakers abruptly removed the court’s deputy chief justice before his tenure ended.

A working committee of House Commission III overseeing legal affairs was formed on Thursday and is set to begin deliberating the revision after lawmakers return from a three-week recess in mid-March.
