Sadly, it was predictable. Islamists gaining power and then turning democracy on its head is hardly unprecedented in history. I just hope the huge pressure on Morsi from judges, liberals and even Christians proves enough for him to reverse his decision to assume absolute authority.

Take religion out of the picture.
It takes a true leader to establish a goverment of limited power. Most commonly to the victor go the spoils/power. The portrait changes, the abuse of power is commonly the same or worse.
Power corrupts, ultimate power corrupts ultimately. When you are the leader of the successful rebellion, you have ultimate power.

The Egyptian judicial system is/was hardly a model for justice. Mubarak was not exactly Abe Lincoln.
