Judges should not get involved in politics

[@m77ast]

As an external observer. I cannot see how anyone can say the judges were correct. Parliament prorogation is something that has been done forever. Yes Parliament Remainers did not like the prorogation but was it against the law? NO. If parliament wanted to change it - they should have put the legislation in place - like the legislation that was used to change the circumstances of an election. There is something that I cannot put my finger on here. If they were close I would have said it’s probably some type of high level secret society at work. I for the life of me cannot understand how Beaureacrats in Brussels can be able to control our parliament and now our judges to the point where they are eager to sell our nation down the toilet.

[@teddansonLA]

[@EduardoEscarez]

They were correct, because the question wasn't about Brexit but if the use of prorogation was stop Parliament to pass laws. And it was unlawful because it was that case, the PM use that option to stop Parliament to work. At the end, what the UKSC did was to regulate how the Executive and Legislative powers interact in this matter, so the PM can abuse its power.

Protagonist Parliament in a way as parliament can always legislate to overrule a Supreme Court ruling. Judges are accountable to an independent body of judicial conduct. So if they are found to be corrupt there is a process to remove them. So judges do have accountability as do the executive and legislative. The judiciary aren’t directly accountable to the people which is a good thing. It means they are truly independent of politics

[@guusben]

5:24 "it goes to the heart of how our democracy can and should work" How democracy should work is, when 17.4m vote Leave and 16.1m vote Remain, Parliament acts out the will of the People. Parliament no longer represents the People. As to today's judgement, the wording of Article 9 is clear that proceedings IN the parliamentary sitting are NOT subject to oversight by the courts. Whether they are generated by the speech and actions of MPs and Lords is irrelevant. Article 9 simply does not make that distinction. On the contrary, it sets speech and debates and proceedings apart. The Supreme Court judges cannot add to or take away from legislation. They can only interpret it. Their novel restriction of proceedings in parliament to the speech and debate of MPs and Lords effectively rules that the process of parliament itself has no beginning and no end ... no opening and no prorogation or dissolution. Somehow these are not processes in parliament as per the actual wording of Article 9 but semi-detached events that can be displaced from Article 9 entirely. This cannot be a good judicial reading. If it is allowed to stand, then power now resides not with you and me but with those wealthy enough to exact change. That is why the statement expressed at 5:24 into this video is completely wrong.

Latest is that the Attorney General gave a written judgement that to prorogue parliament was not unlawful. His judgement allowed Boris Johnson to ask the Queen, the Ulimate Soverieign, to bring the parliament's life to an end, in order for Boris Johnson to have a Queens speech delivered to the PEOPLE with respect to his Governments plan for the future. If Parliament did not agree a vote of no confidence could have ensued. Then, a private citizen challenged both the Attorney general and the Prime Minister and come away with a judgement which goes against the Attorney General and the Government. The Supreme Court basically told the PEOPLE that the Prime Minister lied to the Queen on two counts. Count 1 that the Queens speeech was to be a fig leaf and Count 2 He was using the preroging to stop Parliaments work. THESE ARE DANGEROUS TIMES FOR DEMOCRACY when paid servants of the Crown make judements of what they THINK was in the mind of the LEADER of their Government. The Supreme Court, a body which has made a unaninmous 11 to 0 decision on a subject that the Attorney General gave the other way seems not impartial.

I mean, you do get that every time someone say ... 17,4million people voted yadayada... you're basically saying ...

[@Keithlfpieterse]

The Supreme Court ruling substantiates the following: 1. In IT jargon: "Garbage IN is garbage OUT." The British voters were misinformed, offered "pies in the sky" and lied to prior to the Brexit Referendum. Lack of information or an abundance of misinformation leads to BAD decision-making; 2. It is high time for the British people to draft and implement a Written Constitution; 3. An Independent Judiciary which rules without fear or favour is the keystone of a Living and Thriving Democracy! I rest my case.

Really bad move, when they reject or accept cases in the future its going to be accused of politics and erode the respect court.

Why not have all the liars and cheats regarding Brexit in the dock?

[@patrickg3618]

The unanimous decision, that Parliament was prorogued for an unlawful purpose by preventing Parliament from doing its' duty, without just cause, means that many prorogations in the past have been unlawful. Among those is the prorogation by ardent Europhile John Major in 1997 for three weeks.

This is not "new ground" ministers actions are found unlawful in UK courts all the time - with no consequences other than ministerial decisions may be set aside. The court in this case has waded into the political arena by its actions and provided a remedy where none was needed. Parliament had the power to deal with this itself by refusing to accept a prorogation.

[@seanhunt7750]

By their judgement today, the 11 Supreme Court Judges have upheld the rule of law. So I'm surprised at the number of thumbs down that this video has got. I can only conclude that there are a great deal of unhappy tax dodgers out there today.
