Parliament was always the supreme law maker. It's parliament that gives consent to Acts and Treaties.
And the fact of lthe matter was that when Wilson moved the idea in 1975 (I think), he correctly sought The Commons consent to hold a referendum and to accept the results.
So what the Honorable Justices decided was simply to respect UK law, that is - Parliament must give consent.
It's funny how all these Farage supporting fruitcakes are now crying foul with the decision, when obe of their bedrock arguments was to insist that UK law should be only be decided in London and not Brussels or Strasbourg..

That said while I hope The Commons will reject Brexit,

I think a lot of MPs will be out of a job at the next election if they do reject the will of the people.
Only if the selection committees deselect, which they won't. Most of the Electorate haven't a clue who represents them, never mind on how they vote on a particular issue.
