Interesting piece on the possibility of Assange's defence team cross-appealing Baraitser's judgement. The UK does not have a supremacy clause in its constitution as the US does, which means signed international treaties are not the supreme law of the land, but are trumped by domestic law when they conflict. It is an arrangement consistent with UK imperial arrogance, but does make one wonder why the US ever adopted such a provision though they routinely violate it. The international treaty in this case is the "U.S.-U.K. extradition treaty", the domestic law the "Extradition Act." Baraitser appealed to the latter to exempt her from being bound by the provision in the former that prohibits political extraditions, a provision that had been removed from the Act in 2003 by arch war criminal and international gangster and grifter, the lawless Tony Blair. As Mercouris writes:

In 2003 the Blair government deleted from the 2003 Extradition Act the traditional prohibition on extraditing individuals who faced political charges because it wanted to make it easier for the British government to extradite and dispose of people who the U.S. and British governments said were “terrorists.”
