    Feeling proud to be British atm.

    Feeling good enough not to fuck off and live somewhere else.

    Now let's have a quick vote in Parliament authorising A50 and let's move on.

    Agreed - bitter blow for Sturgeon
    Hardly - now she has incontrovertible evidence that the Scottish Parliament as it stands is toothless.
    It's not. It has all the teeth its constitution grants it - over Scottish affairs. A50 is a UK affair.

    The Daily Mail Europhile rating is evidently out of whack. Lord Carnwath was rated a five star Europhile in December yet was one of the dissenters.

    Or just possibly, the judges approached this independently of their views on the referendum?

    That's very reassuring. I assumed Lord Sumption would be a dissenter.

    Thank Goodness our Supreme Court is not like that in the USA.

    Exactly - so it makes the case for independence so that the Scottish Parliament can become a "real" parliament

    I think that Theresa May has played a blinder. If she had just served A50 it would have been in chaos now, furthermore by going to appeal she has instantly clarified the devolved administration positions and thereby prevented subsequent challenges.

    It must be impossible now for any politician to survive if they attempt to delay or stop the process and that includes the HOL.

    A good day at the office for her

    The crazed attempts by your fellow Leavers to try to see everything through the prism of the referendum reflects very badly on them.

    This case was about far more important things than membership of the EU.

    ...oh, and HAHAHA for wee Jimmie Krankie...

    Of course UK regoins don't get to frustrate foreign policy. Stupid question.

    Though the fact that the argument was heard meant there was always an outside chance that it might be accepted.

    Why? The Scottish parliament needing to give legislative consent would have killed IndyRef2 stone dead.

    These are emotional times.

    I am very pleased we have the objective and fair (although not perfect) legal system we do and this gives me great confidence we will fairly rule on all cases in an independent UK post Brexit.
