He criticized, “(The President’s office)’s public comment that ‘if a candidate with a specific political orientation is proposed (to the Supreme Court), the appointment can be rejected’ is tantamount to a notice that the administration will actively promote the candidate’s proposal.” .
“Even if the appointment of a candidate who has been recommended by the Supreme Court and consented by the National Assembly is inappropriate, the president should reject the appointment,” he said. ” said
“No one can deny the fact that significant obstacles have been caused to the Supreme Court’s exercise of the right to propose,” he said. .
Controversy arose when it was reported that the President’s Office considered refusing to appoint candidates of a certain inclination ahead of the nomination of successors for Justices Cho Jae-yeon and Park Jeong-hwa, who will retire next month.
On the 9th, Supreme Court Chief Justice Kim proposed the appointment of Kwon Yeong-joon (52, Judicial Research and Training Institute, 25th class), Seoul National University Law School Professor, and Seoul High Court Chief Judge Suh Gyeong-hwan (57, Judicial Research and Training Institute, 21st class) as candidates for the Supreme Court. It was evaluated that they chose candidates with no clear political inclination to avoid it.
