I think those two bills were intended by the Scottish Government to be challenged and I think it is probably in their plan that the bills be ruled ultra vires and struck down. It very clearly makes a point they want to make about the constitutional position of Scotland and the political direction of Scotland.

It will certainly speak to a particular crowd.

I wonder how many who aren't already in favour of independence.

I'm not sure it's about changing people's mind. I think it's more about bolstering the moral resolve of those who are in favour of independence. It says pretty clearly that they are (on this specific thing) correct and helps to create a perception of righteousness.

Fair. I certainly think we'd be more likely to uphold rights than Westminster.

Whole bunch of moral resolve going on here
