Which if a delay is sought
Will definitely hurt brexit
So yeah
Plus don't be so narrow minded
We have life after brexit you know
So yes
Ruling important
I'm not being narrow minded, i'm pointing out that there isn't a grey area - the courts will rule against a no-deal brexit
Did I predict an outcome
I said it was important
The courts were degraded and captured before brexit, they will still be after
You're making a point tangential to the debate
The debate is "Is the ruling important" not "what will the ruling be"
Well I don't think the ruling is important
So you don't believe erortion of the separation of powers is important?
Already happened
More can happen
Nobody cared last time, they won't care now
Again
Not the debate
It only appears important to you
For everyone else it's self-evident and changes nothing
It's like "Yes, the house is still on fire"
Right so yours acting on perception
And me on reality
There is currently no orecident for the courts to speak on the behalf of the executive
This would generate that precident
Which is a big step
It would make similar suits much much much easier to win
Which is important
Especially if the SC upheld it
I don't think it's anything close to the precident you think it is - the executive does not have the freedom to break the law
Courts have already 'forced' people to do things they don't want
No you don't understand, this is to ask the court to ask for an extension
Even if the PM doesn't break the law
And still is going to leave no deal
And I think Boris is unwise to try and get around the law this way
I don't see any significant benefit to it
You don't seem to understand that the court would be acting on behalf of the executive even if it doesn't break the law
It would show that the courts can just overrule the executive even if they are within the law
