Egypt's Top Court Hits Back at Morsi Accusations of Bias
Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court on Wednesday accused President Mohammed Morsi of an unjustified attack on its independence when he gave his reasons for issuing a decree that expanded his powers and placed him beyond judicial oversight.
"There was an attack against the court, false information was circulated about it... but the real sadness for its judges was that the president of the republic joined in the attack against the constitutional court," its head Maher al-Beheiry told reporters.
He denied Morsi's accusations that the court was biased or had leaked rulings to the media, and called on the president to provide evidence.
