(Reuters Breakingviews) - Boris Johnson has received a Brexit spanking. Britain’...

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson attends a roundtable at Downing Street in London, Britain, September 19, 2019.

In more normal times, the devastating verdict delivered by Supreme Court President Brenda Hale would have ended Johnson’s political career. The 11 judges unanimously concluded the government wanted to prevent parliament from carrying out its constitutional function. Advising the Queen to suspend parliament for five weeks inevitably dragged the monarch into the controversy.

Johnson’s Brexit choices therefore remain much the same as before. He can try to secure a new deal to leave the European Union at a summit scheduled for Oct. 17. If this fails, as seems likely, he is required by parliament to seek an extension to Britain’s scheduled departure date – something Johnson has said he will never do.

What’s your Brexit dial? 🎛Today PM Johnson has been told unequivocally that he must obey the law and respect the prerogatives of parliament and the judiciary. He can’t fiddle with your dial or with the future of the country.

Boris Johnson made an illegal move that was struck down by the Supreme Court. On the Legal Scale, this is higher than the Loss of a Confidence vote. If Boris Johnson respects British traditions, he should resign immediately; a Majority Unity Govt should be formed.
