The Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that parliament must be dissolved, state TV reported. An Egyptian constitutional law expert told CNN that following the court's decision, a political decision would be made about whether to dissolve parliament.

Following the ruling, Egypt's interim military rulers claimed to have full legislative control of government. Parliament had been in session for just over four months.

This is a big f’ing deal. We could see a civil war in Egypt.

This is probably the best of all possible outcomes, depending on how much influence the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islam has on the Military at point.

Looks like Mubarak’s people have grabbed the reigns of power back from the MB.. At least temporarily.

It will be very temporary, unless they've used the time up to now to find out who the MB players are, so they can be rounded up and quickly "disappeared".

“Given the trouble the groups affected are likely to cause, they’re going to need martial law.”

Well, they should be good at dealing with plagues. They’ve had some practice!

Yes, why would a muslim president helping the Muslim Brotherhood be a blunder?

Every FReeper should read your post #6.

The Moslem Brotherhood is deep into the USA
led in by the undocumented Tyrant and his
terrorist-protecting AG supported by the
useless Congress that wallows in treason.

Want proof? Just look at the Hasan who went
from Inaugural Committee to Murdering Terrorist
to Protected Asset of the DNC/DOJ/Obama.

Looks like many of those who run the place aren’t hot and bothered over the muslim brotherhood assuming control who preach non-stop about the Islamic caliphate and making all christians in the country pay the Jizya tax.
