The Law Against the Judges

It’s Egypt’s entire political class that has failed to push for transitional justice, not its judges.
Constitutions; Courts and the Judiciary; Demonstrations, Protests, and Riots; Law and Legislation; Legislatures and Parliaments; Middle East and North Africa Unrest (2010- ); 

The judges are most interested in justice.  The legislature is interested in power.  Law is a language used for communication.

Social Security could be among the best if it were allowed to work as designed.  The GOP has trouble understanding insurance.
