NOT SO THIN BLUE LINE:Dozens of protesters yesterday once again attempted to break into the Legislative Yuan, but were unable to force their way past police

The focus of the ongoing extra legislative session has turned to a vote on a nuclear referendum proposal on Friday, with the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus apparently ready to use its majority to push through the proposal.
While civic groups are still staging protests against the cross-strait service trade agreement, the other contentious issue to be discussed in the session — the blocking of the KMT’s possible forcible passage of the pact — has faded in significance after the party realized that approving the agreement in the extra session would not be possible.
