"The Shura Council, or upper house of parliament, and the Constituent Assembly, which drew up last November's controversial constitution, were both elected illegitimately, the court ruled. Since the main, lower house of parliament is currently in abeyance, its own election having been ruled illegal last year, the Shura Council is the only legislative body in the country, and is currently responsible for all laws. It has been widely attacked as out of touch. Before the Egyptian revolution it had little authority, and the election that chose its current members attracted a turn-out of just ten per cent."
