Morsi reconvenes parliament defying army order

Morsi Egypt President order of parliament reconvenes defying army order and speaker insist for another court ruling in this regards.The stand-off between the elected members,army and judiciary needs to be resolved before the democracy is truly restored for the people of Egypt.
Egypt's parliament reconvened on Tuesday, despite the military council's order last month that it be dissolved due to its unconstitutionality. President Mohammed Morsi opened parliament on Saturday in defiance of a military order based on a Supreme Constitutional Court ruling that the results of Egypt's first democratic election were unconstitutional.

Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi's power base, came out on top.In the reopened parliament, speaker Saad al-Katatni proposed that the parliament seek another court's ruling on whether the new parliament is legally valid.Last month, the military turned over governing power to President Morsi, but it is insisting it still holds power to make laws and approve budgets in the absence of a parliament.
