Who will Rule Us after Lisbon?

It all seems a bit confused after the vote on the Third Reading of the EU Treaty Amendment on Tuesday as I posted first thing this morning. We have the Queen of course somewhere up there above us, President Barroso of the EU Commission, who as I also posted earlier seems to believe that avoiding hunger is not aided by growing food close by, post-Lisbon will also provide the new EU President f0r 2.5 to 5 years appointment, the notable Dr Hans-Gert Poettering, President of the false EU Parliament will I feel sure still be hovering around, but Gordon Brown MP., as PM., has at that point ceded Parliament's powers to the ECJ and the British Courts so we must now add this figure, who has unsurprisingly been previously unknown to me:

18 January 2008

Jack Straw, the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, today announced that Ms Jenny Rowe will become the first Chief Executive of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom upon its creation in late 2009.

In the interim Ms Rowe will act as Chief Executive designate and take up the post overseeing the creation of the Supreme Court. She will work with the Supreme Court implementation team and the Law Lords.

Jack Straw said:

'I look forward to working with Jenny Rowe in establishing the new Supreme Court that will endure as a symbol of our commitment to justice and the independence of the judiciary.'

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom replaces the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords. The Supreme Court will become operational in October 2009 and will be situated on Parliament Square in the refurbished Middlesex Guildhall building.

When the new institution opens, the existing Law Lords will become the first Justices of the Supreme Court, and the Senior Law Lord will become the President. For the purposes of appointing the Chief Executive under section 48(2) of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, the Lord Chancellor consulted the current senior Law Lord, Lord Bingham of Cornhill.
