Could the Supreme Court overrule the government?

It is the highest court in the United Kingdom. The judges, known as justices, have the final say on the biggest legal issues and are the ultimate check and balance on the UK's laws and constitution.

It sits opposite the Houses of Parliament, its location symbolising the relationship between the two: Parliament makes the laws and the Supreme Court oversees their fair and just use.Gina Miller had a Supreme Court victory over the government about the Brexit process in 2017Only Parliament can pass or cancel laws. The Supreme Court's role is to decide on the correct interpretation of those laws when there is a dispute.

The hearing is scheduled to last until Thursday. The only comparable case of this importance took three days. That wasto start the process for leaving the EU

BBCPolitics Probably all ex-Oxbridge Tories so BoJo will likely win the day.

I hope so.

📰 Boris is the Prime Minister it should have nothing to do with any Court in the UK!

BBCPolitics The decision of the Scottish appeal judges relies on 'inferences' about political motivations, but they offer no direct or specific evidence to question the authenticity of the need for a legislative programme, particularly given a possible election.

I thought this tweet was a spoof from the onion when I read it.

He did not suspend it for 5 weeks. He added about 3 days. The arseholes MPs moaning did it in July. Seems remoaner lot lie . Sorry BBC news team lies.

I, for one, will be questioning the qualifications and integrity of the judges

BBCPolitics People are telling me they would rather be ruled by judges than politicians. When I say judges are not elected, they don't care - they say the law rules for everyone. Of course they are all remain fanatics.

I had a police woman like that come to my birthday party once.

What happened to your reporting on Northern Ireland’s courts decision last week?

BBCPolitics I imagine if the Belfast decision is anything to go by if the result is the same you’ll not even make it the top story and it’ll be relegated from the top half of the website within 6 hrs. If it mimicked the Scottish decision you’ll shoot your proverbial load. scrapthefee

A subsidary of Strasbourg, isn’t it? 🥴

What's the point of Parliament if courts get involved.

BBCPolitics There ruling is clear, they will rule it as legal

Hope for the best on this.

It doesn't matter, if they give the 'wrong' answer we can wait 3 years and ask again to get the 'right' answer

In India the BJP, the ruling party of Modi claims ownership of the Supreme Court here.

BBCPolitics If judges start to make political decisions perhaps there is the need for the public to vote on future judge appointments. And while we are on, the PM HAS NOT suspended parliament for 5 weeks !! He added 4 days to what was already decided by THEM - the MPs for party conferences

Wasn't it going to be suspended for four anyway?

I see the supreme court still only symbolises England, Scotland and Wales still no clover added for Northern Ireland

So if it is decided it was illegal, will all the MPs forget their party junkets and skip gaily back to school, sorry, Parliament?

BBCPolitics It’s a court that is supreme

It don't see any MP's protesting at parliament.... They are all too busy enjoy their party conferences.

Great you're explaining this. But also a damning indictment on the UK education system that you need to. BringBackCivicsEd SupremeCourt Prorogue

A Court that is Supreme to others.

Johnson: no transition period extension if Brexit deal is struckGovernment would only have 14 months to avoid hard border in Ireland in event of deal Gotta love a leftard meltdown. Incoming.. I don't buy any of it. Look at who he has employed as his front bench. I don't believe any of those ideologues have the slightest interest in a deal, all about positioning themselves to blame the EU. Johnson and co are a shameful, moronic, evil and thoroughly nasty bunch. I am still amazed the European Union is being so arrogant given the combined anemic balance sheets they possess... are they out of their minds?
