The Official Brexit Supreme Court thread.

Hey DA

I generally reserve name calling and insults for Sas.

Apparently so does everyone else. Can I join in?

It's becoming increasingly clear that article 50 won't get passed without some very windy string wrapped around it.

Tory rebel MP's intend to attach strings to Article 50 approval

All this stuff (Supreme Court, parliamentary process) is a waste of time.
It's basically happening because everyone with half a brain knows that hard Brexit will be a fooking disaster.
If that wasn't the case, of course we'd all be quite pleased to leave the EU tomorrow
But in my opinion, hard Brexit would be beneficial, in the sense that it would strip away the economic illusions which seem to be prevalent, permanently.
And lead to a faster re-entry (of some kind) into a relationship with the EU.

Well I used to be a liberal, but then I was told that it's "PC gone mad, innit".
So stop mincing around you arse bandit, uphill gardening, poofter.

Which half of a brain do you have?

No, I'm afraid they can.

No, I'm afraid they can't. In extremis, Parliament can abolish the SC.

The Gov't believes a lot of stuff, I'm afraid, but it is essentially putting forward the same arguments it made to the HC, which were comprehensively rejected.

Telling the Government it needs an Act is a foregone. What the SC doesn't have the right to do is state it has to be a full blown blah blah blah when a one liner will suffice. That would put it in direct opposition to the Government and the Government would be within its rights to ignore it.

Judges also come and go, being replaced with less Liberal ones.

Before the middle of January? Also, remember that, pre SC, this was adjudicated by the Law Lords
