From Special Report with Bret Baier | Friday, June 15, 2012
On the Egyptian Supreme Court’s decision to dissolve parliament and allow a former Mubarak prime minister to run in this [past] weekend’s elections:
The generals have been in charge since 1952 and they were not going to go quietly.
The reason they disbanded the parliament is because just a few days ago it [parliament] appointed 100-man committee to draw up a constitution. And that is the threat. So the parliament is gone, I’m sure the committee will be dissolved.
The problem is there’s going to be presidential election. There is no constitution to determine whether it will be an empty presidency, a symbolic one, or a strong one . . . so the army wanted to make sure that it could control the writing of a constitution to determine the powers [of] whoever wins on Election Day.
