At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Ahn said, “The people think that the Chief Justice has betrayed the trust of the people for his own benefit,” and added, “Please stop doing things that are shameful to your juniors and disgraceful to the people, and decide on your position.”

He pointed out, “According to reports, Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo rejected the resignation of Judge Lim Seong-geun (Busan High Court Chief Judge) three times,” and said, “After rejecting the third resignation, the ruling party even brought up a plan to impeach only Judge Lim. This is not just a coincidence but reeks strongly of a rigged game.” He continued, “The unprecedented impeachment of a judge in constitutional history cannot dispel the public suspicion that it is a joint work of the giant ruling party and a cowardly leader who only watches the monster’s moves.”

Ahn argued, “Some in the ruling party claim that Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo’s lies have nothing to do with the essence of impeachment, but they are wrong,” and added, “While Chief Justice Kim’s lies are unacceptable, the bigger problem is that the head of the judiciary has no will to uphold the constitutional values of judicial independence and the independence of trials. That is the essence.”

Ahn urged, “The ruling forces have long been rotten, and the legislature has failed to check power for a long time, but I hope the courts at least do not ignore the last hope of the people who wish it to be a place that knows shame.”
