I don't fully understand why a Scottish court even rules on constitutional matters when there is the High Court. While I appreciate the comedy in this episode of "Brexit", is there any articles that properly explains what's up with those Scots?

I've already heard this morning that there is a high possibility that the supreme court will not rule against the government on the prorogue period because they are anticipating having to take a stance when Boris either refuses or tries to get out of requesting an extension from the EU which they think will have a far higher impact on how much of a constitutional crisis it would be (as it has already been signed into law by the queen). The government is just freestyle trampling over the laws of the land right now.

In other countries, they could have said something about acting in bad faith, "letter, not spirit of the law", teleological reductions etc. But because this is ~ Glorious Britane ~ all those considerations have to be rephrased as "Somebody lied to an old lady, how rude". Presumably while wearing the proper magic wig to imbue judicial power into that sentence.

So Boris just needed to say out loud that he was stopping parliament for petty political reasons for it to be legal despite no one doubting that being the reason?
