Interesting. Do you have extraordinary legal qualifications that make your opinion more valid than the unanimous judgment of the highest court in the land?
Ah yes, the old "you're not a lawyer so your opinion is worthless" argument. As I mentioned, every single thing I read by legal professionals leading up to this decision said it was entirely legal. I am not a UK citizen, let alone an expert in UK law. But I read up on it and I can follow my own path of logic based on what they described the law to be.
Also, let's not pretend like the courts get things right all the time. Even the "highest court in the land" fucks up all the time. Same here in the US. The judges are just as biased as everyone else. The law on this isn't even complicated. The Queen, not Boris Johnson, has the power to prorogue parliament. Therefore the request that she do so cannot be an illegal act by Boris Johnson. That's really simple logic to follow. And the Queen is immune from legal process so no act done by her can be deemed illegal which is why the court ruled that it was the advice/request that was illegal. This insane logic is just as outrageous as the actual request to prorogue parliament made by Johnson.
