On Monday, May's government will ask Supreme Court justices to overturn a ruling that Parliament must hold a vote before Britain's exit negotiations can begin — a case that has raised a constitutional quandary and inflamed the country's heated debate about Brexit. Last month, three High Court judges agreed. Brexit Secretary David Davis has insisted that "whatever the outcome of the Supreme Court appeal ... we intend to stick to the existing timetable" for triggering talks. Complicating the picture are new participants including the Scottish government, which argues the Edinburgh-based Scottish Parliament should get a vote too. Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage vowed to lead a march on the Supreme Court to demand judges respect the will of the majority.
