As far as I have been able to determine, the "unlawful" action of Boris's proroguing is that he prorogued parliament for a longer period of time than the "supreme court" would have liked. This does not amount to unlawful action, especially when couched in the political language given by their judgement. It also flies in the face of three previous judgements that actually appeal to English law and rebuffed the case under the obvious distinction that this is a political and not a legal matter. This is a power grab that has superseded the head of state on no constitutional basis. As constitutional historian David Starkey put it, the last time this happened, there was a civil war. This is what the remainers are supporting because they lost a vote.
