Meanwhile, Johnson once again said on Tuesday that the UK needs a general election. The odds of parliament voting for an election are definitely climbing.

Update 2: In his first comments since the ruling, Johnson says he "strongly disagrees" with the court's decision, but acknowledges that parliament will return tomorrow:

*JOHNSON: `STRONGLY DISAGREE' WITH DECISION OF SUPREME COURT

*JOHNSON: `OF COURSE PARLIAMENT WILL COME BACK'

*JOHNSON: A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO FRUSTRATE BREXIT

Citing sources, Sky News reports that Johnson will not resign, and will fly back to the UK after his speech at the General Assembly.

Opponents of a 'no-deal' Brexit are celebrating today's ruling. Former Prime Minister John Major, who had joined the successful case against Johnson, said he hopes the UK Supreme Court ruling will stop any future prime ministers from shutting down Parliament.

Major said Tuesday he was "delighted" with the court ruling.
