Egypt's President Mohammed Mursi has issued a declaration banning challenges to his decrees, laws and decisions.
The declaration also says no court can dissolve the constituent assembly, which is drawing up a new constitution.
President Mursi also sacked the chief prosecutor and ordered the re-trial of people accused of attacking protesters when ex-President Mubarak held office.
Egyptian opposition leader Mohammed ElBaradei accused Mr Mursi of acting like a "new pharaoh".
Mr ElBaradei said the new declaration effectively placed the president above the law.
"Morsi today usurped all state powers and appointed himself Egypt's new pharaoh. A major blow to the revolution that could have dire consequences," the Nobel Peace Prize winner wrote on his Twitter account.

So now he’s the head janitor too?

Howz that Arab spring working for us?
(In best Claud Rains voice)
I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

That Arab Spring keeps paying dividends. Heck of a job, Obama. Heckuva job.
Arab Spring was always about that.
If you think those young people in Egypt were "fighting for democracy" as all my retarded liberal friends told me, it looks like it's not true. It was always about putting the Muslim Brotherhood in power.
Obama is jealous that it’s not yet that easy for him to do the same here in the US. But he’s working on it incrementally, one czar and one executive order and one end-run around Congress at a time.
Iraq is headed ultimately for the same fate.
I am certain that Hussein applauds this, including the coming trouble with Israel. He hates Israel, won’t go there, and now when Egypt stirs up more trouble for Israel, Hussein will have a proxy in Morsi doing the things he wishes he could do regarding Israel but as of yet dares not.
In the Third World, it's always about putting Your Gang in power, so they can give their supporters the sweet government jobs and steal from the Other Guys.
Something like big-city politics in the US.
I will believe it when I see it.
Or they'll all be living next door to you and I... making bombs, killing kids. It's Obamaland!
Yehuda, here is the payoff to morsi. The US will not protest nor oppose this imposition of a dictatorship on the Egyptian people. The cleansing of Christians will be completed with US complicity by its silence. morsi has received his pound of flesh.
LOL...well played!
The best humor always contains an element of truth.
And if Egypt attacks Israel alone (Jordan and Syria have their own problems now). The conflict will be short and Egypt will lose. Perhaps Israel should retake Gaza and go all the way to the East side of the Nile.
Chinese Uighurs join Jihadis in Syria
Chinese Muslim separatists from the northwest region of Xinjiang are battling Syrian government forces alongside al-Qaeda and other extremist groups, an official Chinese newspaper reported on Monday. Radicals among China’s ethnic Turkic Uighur minority have been travelling to Syria since May to join the fighting on trips organized by groups opposed to Beijing’s rule over Xinjiang, the Global Times reported Monday.Chinese better get busy. In a few months these Uighur Muslims will be back in China, fully trained and with combat experience.Citing unidentified Chinese anti-terrorism authorities, it said the groups were funding their activities through drug and gun trafficking, kidnapping and robbery, and providing training for “separatists, criminals and terrorists” who had fled Xinjiang.
“After receiving orders from al Qaeda, terrorists from China came to Syria to meet with jihadists already on the ground before forming groups on the front lines,” the report quoted an unidentified official as saying.
