Could be the first condition is wrong the second is correct that it is unconstitutional to not run this past parliament

They did this last fall, what’s new about this one?
You can measure the resistance.
This is a higher court and the ruling also concluded that the devolved parliaments would not be involved in the final vote.
Thanks for that!
They wanted a Supreme Court. Now they’ve finally got one.
House of Lords says: “Miss me yet?”
The resistance seems to be crumbling slowly but surely. This ruling won’t change much other than making Brexit a slightly more messy affair. This won’t fundamentally alter the fact that we are leaving, and appear to be leaving by the Hard Brexit route.
The way around this?
Court of Appeal, then a Three line whip in the House.
If the Court of Appeal up hold this, the result will almost certainly be the same in the house.
Will be interesting to see if Theresa really has her heart in this or not.
There are a lot of remainist Tories and the majority is only a slender one. I think the support of Labour may be needed to guarantee the vote. Corbyn has stated that he will vote to trigger it, but he may demand concessions in return, such as trying to stay in the single market, which is something a lot of Tory Remainers may also try to insist on.
