But the UK in it's entirity then voted in a refendum to leave the EU, so the scottish voted as part of the UK which they wished to remain a part of, and not as an independent Scotland. I do wish someone would explain this, to the Fish woman in particular and to the other leaders of the devolved regions and tell them to stop their continual bitching and get with the program....

Would have liked a different verdict but the LAW right or wrong was up held.

Would you have accepted the verdict if all 11 judges agreed?

When different judges make different decisions, it worries me that they may be letting their personal wishes influence them.

The operative word is "interpreting" which tends to be done based on the personal experience, emotions, feelings and outside influences etc of the person concerned. That's the same whether you are a judge or and ordinary mortal like us. Its part of being human and its why we have arguments on here and they arrived at different conclusions.

If this law is written to allow different interpretations, then it should not be considered a valid law and should be rewritten.

The Judges have made the ruling based on their own experience and preferences, Therefore as I said previously what decides things is your/their own judgement which may or may not agree with your neighbour's.
Its more to do with the constitution or lack of a written on which is the problem not the law.
