Protests Continue In Egypt Over Draft Constitution    1. Listen
Story audio  Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi says he's
determined to hold a referendum on the draft constitution on
Dec. 15. But it's an election fraught with problems for him and
his opponents. It's unlikely to be a free and fair vote, with
most judges who would be the ones to serve as independent
monitors being on strike, leaving its legitimacy in doubt. His
opponents, meanwhile, are in trouble if they decide to boycott
the vote or not. Not voting gives Morsi and the Muslim
Brotherhood a guaranteed victory. But if opponents do vote and
lose, then their efforts to quash the draft document and Morsi's
power grab would lose legitimacy.
