thank God for judges

Lady Hale shows just how brilliant a woman of our generation can be.

Under new rules, which make retiring at 70 mandatory, Lady Hale, who is 74, would not have been able to preside over the proroguing of parliament case. But she is among the last of the judges who can serve to 75 as she was appointed to the bench before the rules were changed in 1995.

What a loss it would have been if she'd been forced to retire at 70.

Celebrate our Judges.
Well those crying for Judiciary independent of Europe have it. I imagine some of them will be muttering yes, but not this kind of independent thought ?

And thank goodness for Gina Miller, Joanna Cherry & John Major for bringing their respective cases.

Where was HM official opposition in all this?

We can now move forward as a nation united under our laws and parliament. We have a very nutty series of problems to resolve, including the maintenance of our national union and Brexit.

Today we should celebrate together the defense of our nation's democracy.

A great day for justice and well done Gina Miller for seeing it through. So its back to business tomorrow at 11.30 and sort out out some important business like the Domestic Abuse Bill and Thomas Cook.

A great day.

Coolgran I think he was last seen jogging towards the Ecuadorian embassy ....

Yes its a great day for justice but where do we go from here. Scary stuff.

Boris is very conspicuous by his absence.

So what happens now folks? Will the cancel the remaining conferences if Brecon does a recall? And then what?

The unanimity was literally breathtaking - I gasped!

Hurray! And BJ said publicly last week that he would respect the decision of the Supreme Court.

Totally agree Monica.
I am proud of our judiciary today but the fallout will be monumental.

You're right absthame Thank God. There's still respect here for honesty and doing the right thing.
Which I was beginning to doubt.

What is significant is not just the ruling but the unanimity of the judges. It has profound constitutional significance.

lots of discussion of this on the other thread about supreme court appeal

sorry - that was my first post, just getting the hang of how to enter without errors!

I agree - it was a shame ity had to go to our





I agree - no party is without fault at the moment but Parliament must be allowed to do its job.

True - all eleven judges were unanimous in their verdict.
