As for what the new constitution says, cnn says this:

.....The latest proposal differs from the last constitution in several ways. Some say the draft constitution would mean improved human rights and freedom of expression. The new version explicitly states that women are equal to men and allows them to hold official and judicial posts, Al-Ahram said. The new articles would also give parliament the right to impeach the President in the event of a breach of the provisions of the constitution, Al-Ahram said. Other new articles would criminalize torture, discrimination and arbitrary forced displacement. Critics say the latest draft would give too much power to the military without any civilian oversight. For example, the draft gives tremendous leeway to the army to try civilians in military courts -- something many Egyptians have opposed for years. Morsy's opponents said he was a tyrant trying to impose conservative values....

Conservative values? Like beheadings, crucifixions, church bombings? Non-stop rioting and turmoil? Love that CNN./s

“..tyrant trying to impose conservative values..”

since when is Islamic style tyrannous government and Sharia law considered “conservative?” These same people say Nazi Germany was conservative with their highly centralized government strict laws in which all freedom were eliminated absolute nonsense!!

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution.

Make up your mind, liberals. Are your islamofascist allies with their primitive Sharia law “conservatives” or does their anti-Americanism make them an emerging vanguard of progressivism?

Is Obama deeply saddened?

Nice to see Egypt appears to be righting itself. Hopefully, it’ll reestablish itself as the island of relative sanity in a sea of chaos.
