of parliament from doing its job redound views the mill justification the supreme court head of brenda hale had this to say. this is the unanimous judgment of all 11 justices it is for parliament and in particular the speaker and the lord speaker to decide what to do next unless there is some parliamentary rule of which we are unaware they can take immediate steps to enable each house to meet as soon as possible it is not clear to us that any step is needed from the prime minister but if it is the court is pleased that his counsel has told the court that he will take all necessary steps to comply with the terms of any declaration made by the school. so that was the presiding judge of the supreme court a brenda hey let's now go straight to the supreme court in london where our correspondent charlotte part is standing by charlotte again none of this decision from the 11 judges tell us more about what was said and what this means. what a momentous and historic ruling here in the united kingdom today we have to remind ourselves this was a power struggle between the executive the legislative and

will of 17400000 voters and this is the issue when you mention the supreme court ruling of course brenda hale the president of the u.k. supreme court she's rolling on the concept that they think that boris johnson was was out of line not on a rule so basically it's just that they actually want to defy the voters so you've got the institutions want you to define $17400000.00 people who voted so what is this is democracy looking like a total and utter mess and i'll reiterate what churchill said which is democracy is . a good form of government is just better than all the others tried a total mess so now going from the structural transpacific the parliament rejected earlier rejected the motion from the government to adjourn so where are we now in the process with the law barring no deal drags it having passed and mr johnson insisting that he rather die than delay bragg's it past october 31st are you right christie actually said he'd rather die in a ditch didn't he yes you're right no they've actually come back and they've defied this i think everybody has the findings on both sides i think the i

political thunderstorm to beat the heavy rain this being lashing london this morning that is when brenda hale who's the president of the supreme court justice will read the verdicts that the supreme court has given on 2 appeals that have been heard here over the past week one of those appeals was being brought by gina miller and i'm sick campaign or the other was being brought by the government but they both asked the same questions and that is essentially was boris johnson norful when he suspended part of and for 5 weeks did he mislead the queen in giving his reasons for doing so and is this even what they call a justice of will issue is this something that the court should be ruling on or is it purely political matter now the government has always said that what boris johnson did was a standard constitutional move to one of the longest parliamentary sessions in modern times at allow a new prime minister to prepare a platform of legislation for the coming parliament activists say that's nonsense clearly what this was was an effort to run down the clock and to deny parliament's vital negotiat

hale,e heard from brenda it is as if that prorogation piece of paper was blank.in tomorrow there will be prime minister's questions. there will have to be some element of deputization when the prime minister is a broad. the message from the judge is this is business as usual tomorrow and it will be as if nothing happened. tom: bloomberg bloombergnce," -- "surveillance," we cannot emphasize enough the crushing do vite for prime minister -- crushing defeat for prime minister johnson. the miller has defeated camp twice. why isn't she a liberal politician? sebastian: this is a question she gets asked all the time. politics does not seem appetizing. if you look at the level of ,hreats these people have had there have been all sorts of horrible threats against these people. it is a really toxic time to be in parliament and gina miller has had no shortage of that. i presume that will be a strong factor into why she does not want to get involved as a politician, but she is doing a strong job as an activist. they have altered the course of brexit. you do not have to

we now have our own version of rbj called lady hale, lady brenda hale who's the president of the supremen the u.k., and she came out and said that what happened with boris johnson suspending parliament was unlawful. he essentially lied to the queen, which within the british system is a pretty bad sin, and has now been recalled in a hurry, and boris johnson has had to fly back in the mother of all red eye hells to land back in the u.k. this morning and try and deal with the fallout. >> let's talk about the fallout. parliament comes back, but then what? boris johnson is still there. jeremy corbyn is still the wildly unpopular controversial head of the principal opposition party. even though boris johnson keeps getting knocked down on vote after vote after vote, decision after decision, he also seems like the energizer bunny, and he's still there. isn't it possible that despite everything he prevails? >> i'd say it's not like an energizer bunny right now, he's like a zombie leader. he now is effectively a political zombie. i sometimes think that americans should be grateful to british polit
