Egypt’s Morsi Limits Scope of Power Grab, Unrest Continues – Jeffrey Fleishman and Reem Abdellatif
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi suggested Monday that he would scale back broad powers he assumed last week but failed to appease Egypt’s judiciary. The Supreme Judicial Council on Saturday condemned Morsi’s expanded powers as an ”unprecedented attack” on the courts.
Morsi contended that his intent was to prevent Mubarak-era judges from disrupting the country’s political transition. But his unilateral decree echoed the strongman tactics of his predecessor. (Los Angeles Times)
