Smith can also invoke the Notwithstanding Clause in Canada's constitution to assert Parliamentary supremacy, continue with the citizen petition and tell the judge to fuck off. The question is, will she do that, or will she use this ruling as an excuse to soft-pedal the Independence referendum like we all know she wants to?
She actually doesn't even need the Notwithstanding Clause, not only does she have appeals but the ruling seems to be against only referendum separation questions. Like Quebec, she can call one herself.
