The Battle Continues

President Mursi doesn't want to play by the slanted rules that Egypt's military has set:

Egypt's Islamist-led parliament reconvened on Tuesday in an open challenge to the generals who dissolved the assembly last month, stirring up tensions with the military just 10 days into Mohamed Mursi's presidency.

Let's see if they pass legislation and dare the military to defy it.

Neither side is admirable in this. If rule of law can win and both the Islamists and the military lose, I'll be happy.

Shocked, to be sure. But extremely happy.

UPDATE: Egypt's supreme court said Mursi couldn't convene parliament. This is a rather basic disagreement.
