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.


On the contrary, Article 50 says "Any Member State may decide to
withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional
requirements.". If the Supreme Court says that requires Parliamentary
action, then that's what it requires.

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.


Yes, by Parliament. That's the point.
