As many know recently Dr. Morsi has issued a presidential decree that returns the parliament that has been disbanded by the Supreme court. Move considered by many a direct challenge to SCAF. But, what makes this almost comical is that there are many implications that arise out of this. Who's the bad guy, and more importantly is there a bad guy?
Lets look at the Supreme Court for a second. Before Dr. Morsi was elected to power, the supreme court disolved the Egyptian parliament which consisted mostly of islamists from the Freedom and Justice party (FJP) of which Dr. Morsi was president. And, at the same time allowed Air Marshal Ahmed Shafiq to continue in the presidential race. This was considered by many a move to put Shafiq into power and a sign that the Supreme court was was assisting the military in forging the voting results in favor of Shafiq. And as we all know now, that didn't happen. After Dr. Morsi won, it was accepted that the Supreme court did their job without bias and acted in according to law.
Fast forward to earlier this week. It seems that the dissolving of the parliament didn't strike the fancy of Dr. Morsi and decided to flip the bird to the Supreme Court. A move which means that he doesn't agree with the original ruling. So now the Supreme Court are bad guys?
You can't treat the legal system like an a la carte menu. Take what you want and avoid what you don't. Otherwise, what's the point of a legal system. Let's just keep it a dictatorship just like Mubarak. Also, it seems to me that Dr. Morsi is favoring certain people (just like Mubarak) while forgetting to address the people that put him into power (at least Mubarak wasn't chosen by the people).
Look around, I'm still waiting for any of the 64 points on the 100 day plan to be addressed. Still traffic, still dirty, still security issues. From now on anything fucked up that happens I will not address as WTF but more as WTM (What the Morsi)
