 Morsi issued a decree on Sunday to recall parliament, despite the judicial decision. Local newspaper Al-Akhbar, summed up Morsi's decision to defy the ruling military council, led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi as an "early confrontation." Since Mubarak's ouster in February 2011, the military council has run the country. Seeking to trim Morsi's authority they dissolved parliament, as well as giving themselves full legislative powers, before swearing him in as Egypt's first freely elected president on June 30. Morsi's decree late Sunday to reinstate parliament gives those powers to his party, the Muslim Brotherhood, who share a two-third majority in the house along with other Islamists. He has also demanded new parliamentary elections take place once a new constitution is drawn up and passed by a referendum. In a statement issued after the judiciary met in an emergency session, in response to Morsi's decree, the court, whose decision led to parliament being dissolved, maintained its rulings are final and binding on all state institutions.
