Excerpt:

The president and Egypt's greatest judicial authority fulfilled Monday to attempt to solve the crisis, but the decrees, which basically nullify judicial oversight, remained in location. And the judges are going ahead with plans for a strike. Yussef Auf has actually been a judge for 10 years and says he has actually never seen such an affront to his career. "It's the biggest attack on the judges so far I've seen in my life. In the history of the Egyptian judiciary, I think it might be the biggest one or the second biggest one," says Auf, 35. Middle East

The last assault on this scale, Auf says, was a series of decrees from previous President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1969 that got rid of the justice minister and removed lots of judges.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
