So yeah

2019-10-09 09:32:15 UTC  

Plus don't be so narrow minded

2019-10-09 09:32:20 UTC  

We have life after brexit you know

2019-10-09 09:32:26 UTC  

So yes

2019-10-09 09:32:29 UTC  

Ruling important

2019-10-09 09:32:46 UTC  

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

2019-10-09 09:33:02 UTC  

Did I predict an outcome

2019-10-09 09:33:07 UTC  

I said it was important

2019-10-09 09:33:08 UTC  

The courts were degraded and captured before brexit, they will still be after

2019-10-09 09:33:19 UTC  

You're making a point tangential to the debate

2019-10-09 09:33:55 UTC  

The debate is "Is the ruling important" not "what will the ruling be"

2019-10-09 09:34:07 UTC  

Well I don't think the ruling is important

2019-10-09 09:34:34 UTC  

So you don't believe erortion of the separation of powers is important?

2019-10-09 09:34:53 UTC  

Already happened

2019-10-09 09:35:00 UTC  

More can happen

2019-10-09 09:35:08 UTC  

Nobody cared last time, they won't care now

2019-10-09 09:35:14 UTC  

Again

2019-10-09 09:35:17 UTC  

Not the debate

2019-10-09 09:35:29 UTC  

Sure it is, you claim it's important

2019-10-09 09:35:35 UTC  

It only appears important to you

2019-10-09 09:35:52 UTC  

For everyone else it's self-evident and changes nothing

2019-10-09 09:36:00 UTC  

It's like "Yes, the house is still on fire"

2019-10-09 09:36:16 UTC  

Right so yours acting on perception

2019-10-09 09:36:20 UTC  

And me on reality

2019-10-09 09:36:35 UTC  

There is currently no orecident for the courts to speak on the behalf of the executive

2019-10-09 09:36:49 UTC  

This would generate that precident

2019-10-09 09:36:53 UTC  

Which is a big step

2019-10-09 09:37:23 UTC  

It would make similar suits much much much easier to win

2019-10-09 09:37:27 UTC  

Which is important

2019-10-09 09:37:49 UTC  

Especially if the SC upheld it

2019-10-09 09:37:56 UTC  

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

2019-10-09 09:38:11 UTC  

Courts have already 'forced' people to do things they don't want

2019-10-09 09:38:22 UTC  

No you don't understand, this is to ask the court to ask for an extension

2019-10-09 09:38:27 UTC  

Even if the PM doesn't break the law

2019-10-09 09:38:33 UTC  

And still is going to leave no deal

2019-10-09 09:38:43 UTC  

And I think Boris is unwise to try and get around the law this way

2019-10-09 09:38:51 UTC  

I don't see any significant benefit to it

2019-10-09 09:39:13 UTC  

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

2019-10-09 09:39:29 UTC  

It would show that the courts can just overrule the executive even if they are within the law

2019-10-09 09:39:32 UTC  

It's a precident

2019-10-09 09:39:32 UTC  

It'd be acting on behalf of Boris
