In her final speech in the role, Lady Hale said:"We do not know one another's political opinions - although occasionally we may have a good guess - and long may that remain so.
UK Supreme Court judges are appointed on legal experts' advice, whereas in the US the President can nominate them.Lady Hale reads the Supreme Court ruling on the suspension of Parliament The attorney-general Geoffrey Cox QC told MPs in the Commons there could come a time for"parliamentary scrutiny" of senior judicial appointments.
In its manifesto, it said:"After Brexit we also need to look at the broader aspects of our constitution: the relationship between the government, Parliament and the courts; the functioning of the royal prerogative; the role of the House of Lords; and access to justice for ordinary people."lady Hale: 'Not everyone thinks I'm such a good thing'
Who is warning about activist judges acting like politicians?
Well said lady hail
I think she has done to much to make us all turn against the Supreme Court she should crawl away
Then why has she tried to make it one? Interfere in poltics and the court needs to be politically appointed. Better still. Abolish the Supreme Court and reverse her flawed judgement
The unspeakable cheek of silly, little girly swot of a lawyer who attempted to overturn a democratic vote and couldn't resist the girly swot dig at the prime minister.
I bet she did
Says the EU puppet 🤔
Well don’t let judges interfere in politics, you can’t have it both ways
Not bad coming from someone who thinks she is above the law. Don't worry you will still get your zillions
Well Blaire picked the Judges we have now!!
Some wacky replies on this thread - and who knew there were so many constitutional law experts floating around twitter!
We don't want a 'supreme court' at all, especially one that 'makes laws' on the fly, depending on exactly how much judges are taking from foreign 'governments'. Elect ALL Judges and make them answerable!
Judges already shown to be biased. Too late.
Of course she does.
Politicians should never appoint Judges in a free democracy.
Unfortunately a Government with an 86 seat majority can't be stopped.
Someone should have warned against an anti - democratic commie Supreme Court
Yes, the Supreme Court shouldn't be politicised, you know for example, using it to block proroguing...
Yes of course she would
She’s soon jumped in, one has to ask the question.
She should have thought about this before deciding to interfere in the political process.
Be good when all the Marxist biased judges are out that Blair's policies introduced.
Lady Rat!
That's where my old mophead is
Or let judges overstep their mandate. Btw, if justice was true, how come there are no women or BAME judges nominated? Equality? Bollocks!
Then create a law that prevents the political party from choosing their own judges to keep the court system civilise.
But Bowis might not get his way if the Supreme Court stays. Boo hooo
The judges inc lady hale were remainers thats why they denied the government get rid
Totally agree so please let’s not do this. Look at US - the main thing we know it is 7-6 to the Republicans! Crazy situation
Not to worry love Brexit is happening this time 😉👍
Her obvious remain bias has cast a shadow over her career, as she tried, and failed to assist in stopping Brexit. The Supreme Court needs an overhaul to prevent them changing the law to suit their own political agendas ever again.
She was so wrong to bring the law into the priministers desicion
can we trust her judgement?
She would wouldn't she?
If judges don't want interference by politicians, they must start by ceasing to interfere in politics.
stillirise1963 Agree and we in the US should not allow it either. The people should decide.
Says the unelected! 🤣🤣
Just disband it and leave it to the high court. UK justice not EU motivated Justice.
we do not trust this woman.....she tried to deny brexit......we won.
