When newspapers reported a court ruling on Brexit, senior judges were condemned as 'enemies of the people'. But they still ruled that an order by the Queen on the advice of her prime minister was just 'a blank piece of paper'. Joshua Rozenberg asks how the judges can maintain public confidence while making hard choices.
Do judges use the power of the state for the good of the nation? Or do they create new laws in line with their personal views?
