Egyptian high court orders parliament dissolved; Shafiq will stay in presidential race

06/14/12: Al Jazeera reports Egypt’s highest court ruled on Thursday that one third of the seats in the Islamist-dominated parliament were invalid, stirring fresh uncertainty in the politically divided country.  The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), the country's ruling military council, then announced that if any part of the parliament is illegal, then the entire body should be dissolved.  Egypt's constitutional court also invalidated a law that would have barred deposed president Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq from standing in this weekend's presidential poll runoff.  After conflicting reports in Egyptian media over whether a third, or the entire, parliament was to be dismissed, Al Jazeera obtained a copy of the court decision, which explicitly states that the entire parliament is dismissed because of “constitutional violations.”
