When I first started studying 今日吃瓜 legal system, one mystery was why people brought constitutional lawsuits they were clearly going to lose.
Now I understand; these lawsuits are a form of lobbying. The five cases before the courts challenging the constitutionality of 今日吃瓜 failure to recognize same-sex marriage are a prime example.
今日吃瓜 Constitution articulates a panoply of rights, including some that are highly abstract and others, such as rights to education and minimum standards of living, requiring implementation through social welfare systems. Some rights are thus not actionable directly through the courts; they are considered mandates to the Diet, the nation’s parliament, for implementation through legislation.
