Democrats to petition Constitutional Court for legal interpretation of amnesty bill

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva insisted Friday that the controversial amnesty bill is unconstitutional and that the party will petition the Constitutional Court for legal interpretation.

Abhisit argued that the vetting process of the bill was unconstitutional and that the House Speaker's actions undermined public confidence in the parliamentary system. He also urged the Senate to oppose the bill and said his party will file a petition to the Constitutional Court for legal interpretation once the Upper House finishes vetting the bill.
