In the U.S., the judicial branch at the level of federal districts and above is nominally nonpartisan, and should be much more like the UK Court, except that early on, judicial review became a power of the US Court, and with that went any hope that the Supremes would be impartial arbiters elected through a political process.
I had managed to glean that a lot of the things being hammered upon were conventional rather than legal, and that the Prime Minister was being a deliberate rules lawyer about all of it, to the eternal aggravation of everybody else involved.
