morsi has performed a parallel but no different act in egypt in just one step as was done in two steps in germany after the reichstag was burned in 1933. subversives and communists were blamed, and the reichstag fire decree was signed by von hindenburg that significantly curtailed many rights germans had under the weimar constitution. then about a month later the enabling act was passed by the reichstag that allowed the cabinet to pass laws Without participation of the reichstag (the german parliament). the enabling act was supposed to last 4 years, and morsi's new act (that does the same thing) in egypt is supposed to last only 6 months. i bet that schedule is never met in egypt just like it was not met in germany.

Morsi has the Brotherhood, and has obviously done a deal with the army, enough of whose officer corps is sympathetic that they will make no real protest.

Protest all they want. He has the Muslim Brotherhood behind him.

LB you unequivocally nailed that one.
There is a lesson in your interpretation for every American. I hope they get it.

We are going to see (or are already seeing!!!) similar attempts here and with sooner goals rather than later goals.
The only difference will be that we will never see the term, "Muslim Brotherhood".
