Egypt has approved a new draft constitution hastily put together in order to avoid dissolution by the country's judiciary. Among other things, the new constitution empowers the presidency further while weakening the judiciary significantly and removing judges critical of the Muslim Brotherhood. It also specifically removed language intending to establish the equality of women, and strengthened the Islamist influence in lawmaking.
More than 100,000 Egyptians took to the streets to protest the new constitution. Could we have a new round of revolts?
