Has the SC been dragged into politics and we need our paloamntarians to support the law?

[mids2019]

Following the absolutely appropriate decision by the SC I am concerned now that the SC has been dragged into politics and we need MPs as part of a sovereign parliament to lend support of the decision through new legislation.

I am quite disturbed at the constitutional problems of Labour ministers planning to undermine law when we have the fundamental principles of rule of law in this country. If MPs want to change law then they have to bring the whole tra thing to votes in parliament and MPs should have the bravery to show their true opinions on this issue instead of sniping at the highest court in the country, undermining it and the integrity of law.

The reasons a judge had to make a decision in my opinion is that MPs have had a form of moral cowardice in not brining this issue to parliament and the SC in a sense has been dragged into politics through no fault of its own.

We need new legislation to bring legislative absolute clarity to this as we could have a situation where some MPs possibly start to openly advocate for ingnoring law and that is not a good thing.

Do those messages say that they want to ignore the ruling without changing the law? My reading is that they plan to use Parliament to change the law back to the way they want it to be, i.e. that transwomen are women for legal purposes if they have a GRC (or maybe if they don't).

That would be perfectly legal, assuming MPs vote for a new law.

It should never have needed to get to be a Supreme Court judgment. The issues coming from those whose sex is different from their gender identity should have been sorted out in law several years ago. Competitive sport a simple one to do, others not so perhaps.

Instead there was six years of only one issue dominating Parliament, the madness of Brexit for four years and then the pandemic. Understandable the latter, though it would have been for a shorter period with a competent government.

One of the Prime Ministers in the six years expressed a view, but in reality treats women like dirt in actions and especially in private, so would never have done anything even if Brexit had never happened.

I just think MPs of they don't like the law should put forward bills to change the law and therefore reveal to the electorate their true views so that they can be accountable. I don't think Labour would ever being a book to parliament as I think they would lose and we would have democratic backing to recent court ruling.

Possibly we do need legislation to back the ruling up and it would be immediately apparent where individual MPs stand. Instead we seem to have a shadow war against a legal ruling which isn't great.
