Judges Stand Against Morsi's Decrees

Egypt's Supreme Judicial Council has declared President Morsi's seizure of power an "unprecedented assault" on the judiciary, on Saturday.

Among the powers that Morsi declared to now be his, was removing the ability of the judiciary to over rule his decrees.

Since the President made his decrees of power, tens of thousands have taken to the streets, in protest.

Political uproar is once again sweeping the country, as Morsi is called dictator, pharaoh, and an usurper of the revolution.

In Alexandria, scene of the most violent protests, the judges and public prosecutors have joined together and are going on strike until Morsi recants his decrees.

Tharir Square, in Cairo, is once again the scene of camped out protesters.

Across the country over two hundred were injured in clashes with police, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Morsi supporters.
