Egypt's Morsi grants himself sweeping new powers
November 23, 2012
Mr Morsi has decreed that all decisions he has made since coming into office, and all decisions he will make until a new constitution is passed, will not be subject to appeal or review by any court.
He has also ordered that no court can dissolve the Islamist-dominated constituent assembly which is now drafting a new constitution.
And he gave the body - which was due to issue a draft constitution in December - two extra months to come up with a charter, that will then be put to a referendum.
