Egypt’s Bumpy Road
WBUR’s Here & Now discussed the precarious mechanics of the transition in Egypt with me today.

There’s a very real, and destabilizing, possibility that some court declares the entire process invalid since it’s based on the dubious legal authority of the SCAF, and the constitutional declaration that materialized from whole cloth after the March referendum, which blessed a text that largely vanished. Listen to the conversation here.
