Just five months after Mohammed Morsy took office as his nation's first democratically elected president -- and just days after winning international acclaim for helping broker a truce between Israel and Gaza militants -- the Islamist leader has triggered angry demonstrations that echo those that swept Hosni Mubarak from power less than two years ago. It all stems from Morsy's edict, issued Thursday, that effectively allows him to rule the country, unchecked by the judicial system, for the next six months or until a new constitution is finalized.
