Britain has no written constitution in the sense the US and other countries do, so judicial review has been pretty spotty. How do you declare an act of Parliament unconstitutional when there's no real constitution to compare it to?
So, today's ruling is an unbelievable step. Johnson has now been rejected by the courts, members of his own party and still has no plan for Brexit. (Labour is scarcely more coherent, so it's not like he's under an immediate threat.)
Really the only solution is to have another referendum with a "No-Deal Brexit" vs No Brexit, because it certainly seems like those are the only two things that can result from all this. The Leave campaign made a bunch of promises that turned out to be lies, and now all of that is coming home to roost.
