I saw that. There's a comment in the Telegraph by IDS:
Lets ignore the irony that he's fine with whatever rules Theresa May makes up and that he campaigned for Britain to regain its sovereignty (i.e. a debate in our Parliament), I just can't believe that he's still choosing to ignore the currently tabled correct procedure to pursue his own agenda.
Iain Duncan Smith, the former Work and Pensions Secretary, said: "The High Court called into question that the British people have the sovereign right to make this decision.
"If people aren't careful we will be left with rule making by unelected judges. This is a political matter.
"It is a much more important debate than just Europe. If the judges go down this road they are placing themselves above Parliament. It will create a serious, constitutional issue."
