Boris Johnson wins second legal challenge over Parliament suspension

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a second legal challenge over his plan to suspend Parliament ahead of a deadline to leave the European Union, giving the country’s top court the final say on prorogation. Three London judges dismissed a case Friday brought by businesswoman Gina Miller and former prime minister John Major, who argued that bypassing lawmakers through the process known as prorogation is an abuse of the government’s power.
 
The appeal of the ruling will go straight to the UK Supreme Court. The ruling comes after Johnson successfully fended off a challenge in Scotland earlier this week.
