R (Miller) v Secretary of State - the ‘Brexit case’ - was seen by many as a watershed moment. Critics have argued that the judiciary increasingly ventures into the political realm. Others, however, maintain it continues to operate within appropriate limits. This panel explores the relationship between the judiciary, the executive, and parliament under our modern constitution.
1. Rt. Hon.Lord Carnwath
Lord Carnwath is a former UK Supreme Court judge. He dissented in the Supreme Court case of R (Miller) v Secretary of State, arguing the courts should not question the adequacy of Parliamentary controls over the Executive.
2. Rt. Hon. Lord Faulks QC
Lord Faulks is a life peer, practicing barrister at 1 Chancery Lane, and former Minister of State for Justice. He recently led the Independent Review of Administrative Law, which culminated in the 2021 Faulks Report.
3. Sir Jeffrey Jowell KCMG QC
Sir Jeffrey Jowell is a practicing barrister at Blackstone Chambers and the inaugural Director of the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law. He was formerly the UK’s member of the Council of Europe’s Commission for Democracy Through Law.

    If all prisoners are entitled to contact with their lawyers (as stated by one of the learned gentlemen) why has Julian Assange been denied this? What section of British justice allows a person who is not convicted of a crime to be inprisoned in solitary confinement without access to the supports that will help them to prove their innocence. I believe he is being punished for a crime he has not been found guilty of. For interests sake, I'm Australian and find our government's lack of support for Mr. Assange completely unacceptable.

    A valid point you raise my friend. You’re absolutely right: it’s abysmal that our government has failed to adequately render assistance to Julian. No doubt the charges are serious but that doesn’t diminish his dignity. He’s suffering terribly. Let’s Hope and pray that he has access, legally and medically, to the resources he needs.

    The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of “Men who wanted to be left Alone”. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the “Men who wanted to be left Alone” are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these “Men who wanted to be left Alone” will fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these peoples’ doors, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the “Men who wanted to be left Alone”. - Author unknown

    I completely disagree with the opinion that the supreme court were wrong in their decision that Boris Johnson's attempt to prorogue parliament was illegal. 12 of its justices were able to assess the evidence and come to their own independent conclusion and all 12 agreed that it was illegal.

    There is the need for the role of the judicial review to be broadened in the 21st century to include effective recommendations likely to lead to BETTER DECISION making by the parliament. For example, some of the new policies on social care future funding can be improved before it is challenged on the ground of fairness - my proposed solution to social care funding is far better than the SOLUTION put forward by the PARLIAMENT.

    @@Frohicky1What's is the basis for suggesting absolutely not. For example, if I was not sidelined by the PMs as the top contributor to the former university business 🏫 since 2014, I would have solved the problem facing social care system via innovative flowcharts. Most importantly, I solved a joblessness problem facing a recent graduate from disadvantaged background by adopting an innovative system approach designed to compete with the best and brightest from universities anywhere in the world. My mentee was offered a job as graduate management trainee in less than three weeks; after I was named as the top contributor, by the my former university, for introducing new system approach to the university's career office, designed to solve graduate unemployment👏

And for the US, the scotus is only as functional as the president you elected, which given the last clown, meaning not at all. And keep telling yourself "gun laws being unconstitutional" and watch your children kept dying needlessly.
