Tuesday is the day

So, the Supreme Court will announce its judgement at 10:30 tomorrow.

I might delay my travel to hear the result.

Remember, this will almost certainly not judge whether the advice or prorogation was illegal or not, but whether such matters fall within the law.

If the matter falls outside the law, then there will be no judgement regarding legality.

Obviously.

Even if it does fall within the law, the Court might judge that the case for lying was not proven.

In which case, not much happens, other than parliament will be, until the law is changed, subservient to the Government of the day, and the whims of the Prime Minister.

If, however, the judgement falls that the case falls in the scope of the law, and the case proven, then, well, all bets are off.

If the Prime Minister tries to ignore the ruling, and tries to carry on regardless, he could be arrested. As could Cummings and aides and members of the Privy Council.

I lay at night dreaming of seeing both Johnson and Cummings being lead out of Number 10 in handcuffs.

We can dream. Can't we?
