Report: Egypt Constitutional Court Seeks Morsi Impeachment
Breitbart ^ | 23 Nov 2012 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/23/2012 3:54:56 PM PST by Las Vegas Ron

According to reports from Egypt, the Constitutional Court is seeking to impeach new Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi after Morsi seized quasi-dictatorial power, sparking protests around the country. Morsi waited for the Obama administration’s praise over the Israel-Hamas ceasefire to make the move. Local media reports a courts spokesperson stating, “the judges are prepared to exercise the right to shift the head of state after he flouted the laws and the constitution.” The problem is that there is no operating constitution in Egypt; the constitution was suspended in March 2011, after the revolution, and no new constitution has been approved. Egypt Judges Club Chairman Counselor Ahmad al-Zind said Morsi’s power grab “pains the nation.” One of Morsi’s chief rivals, Mohamed ElBaradei, is leading the protest movement against Morsi.

Don't hold your breath for a Marbury v. Madison. This is a brutal power struggle and constitutionality is far too subtle a concept for the Bro'hood.

"...the constitution was suspended in March 2011, after the revolution, and no new constitution has been approved."

IIRC, the constitution was 'suspended' by the army. What's Morsi's tie-in with the army?

Impeach the kenyan or secession.

But, according to Hillary, EGYPT is the cop in the latest ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinians.

Since Egypt is in disarray, who they gonna' call? Ghostbusters?

I'd like to suggest that this may be a good time for the popcorn jokes but this could get real serious real fast.

I’m betting the judges will be subject to mass disturbances,
perhaps a few dragged out and stomped to death.

The military who would have backed the judges has had
it’s leadership decimated so don’t see much chance of
that.

Don’t expect Morsi to recind anything.

Especially since his kindred occupies the White hut and has his undying support..
