The EU wouldn't give a damn about legal squabbles here, once its triggered
its
a done deal as far as they're concerned and all legal challenges would have
been moot.

Wrong again. If the Supreme Court had decided, even after the fact, that
May didn't have the power to give notice, the European Commission would
have accepted that decision. Unlike some people here, they actually have
respect for the law.

The commission would have no obligation to respect the decision, they are
not bound by any judgements made the UK supreme court.

As for "the law", its not the laws of nature, its not invioable, its just
a load of words that people decide to abide by at any given time. Its easily
changed where there's a will.

Indeed - this reminds me of these lines by Sir John Harrington:

Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason ?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
