It looks like liberty and freedom are victorious in Egypt tonight, and although the people may have won the battle, they have yet to win the war. I'll be anxious to see what happens in the next few hours and what happens in the elections.
Yeah, because nothing says "liberty and freedom" like the military overthrowing a democratically elected President 
Who proceeded to become a stone-cold dictator. This isn't exactly the democratic process, certainly, but if the military keeps its promises, Egypt should be set down that path again. It's a dangerously big "if", though.
Parliament couldn't do that.
This fall, Morsi granted himself unlimited powers, the power to legislate by decree without judicial oversight or judicial review. And he used the powers to push through a new constitution that he wanted. And consolidate the MB's power.
That's when and why the protests began. After getting what he wanted with the new constitution, and facing massive protests, Morsi then somewhat-limited the scope of his decrees but did not get rid of them.
