Well, well, well.....it appears that President Morsi has made one decree too many in his short reign of 12 months?
El Presidente made himself above the law by being unchallengeable for creating an Islamic Constitution - BUT he misunderstood and underestimated the all powerful Armed Forces.

The Forces of course do not fall under the judicial system - has had 60 years of experience in this field and never have. Hahaha!
