the decision, saying they would
have preferred a candidate who
better reflected the Ivy League
school's diversity.
"This could have been a real-

Space Technology, however,
said scientists have "analyzed
the mistakes" made in the failed
April launch and improved the
precision of its Unha rocket and
Kwangmyongsong satellite,
according to the official Korean
Central News Agency.
The statement said the launch
was a request of late leader Kim
Jong I1. He died on Dec. 17, 2011,
and North Koreans are expect-
ed to mark that date this year
with some fanfare. The space
agency said the rocket would be
mounted with a polar-orbiting
Earth observation satellite, and
maintained its right to develop a
peaceful space program.
Washington considers North
Korea's rocket launches to be
veiled covers for tests of tech-
nology for long-range missiles
designed to strike the Unit-
ed States, and such tests are
banned bythe United Nations.
"A North Korean 'satellite'
launch would be a highly pro-
vocative act," State Department
spokeswoman Victoria Nuland
said in Washington, D.C. "Any
North Korean launch using bal-
listic missile technology is in
direct violation of U.N. Security
Council resolutions."
In 2009, North Korea con-
ducted rocket and nuclear
tests within months of Obama
taking office.

A demonstrator chants slogans as several thousand supporters of Egyptian Pres. M
Supreme Constitutional Court on Sunday to prevent the judges from entering.
Egypt's high courtOj
J
Justices will march
to protest Pres.
Morsi's decree of
power
CAIRO (AP) - Egypt's highest
court joined a judicial rebellion
against President Mohammed
Morsi on Sunday by declaring an
open-ended strike on the day it
was supposed to rule on the legit-
imacy of two key assemblies con-
trolled by allies of the Islamist
leader.
The strike by the Supreme
Constitutional Court and opposi-
tion plans to march on the presi-
dential palace on Tuesday take
the country's latest political cri-
sis to a level not seen in the nearly
two years of turmoil since Hosni
Mubarak's ouster in a popular
uprising.
Judges from the country's
highest appeals court and its
sister lower court were already
on an indefinite strike, joining
colleagues from other tribunals
who suspended work last week to
protest what they saw as Morsi's
assault on the judiciary.
The last time Egypt had an all-
out strike by the judiciary was
in 1919, when judges joined an
uprising against British colonial
rule.
The standoff began when
Morsi issued decrees on Nov. 22
giving him near-absolute pow-
ers that granted himself and the
Islamist-dominated assembly
drafting the new constitution
immunity from the courts.
The constitutional panel then
raced in a marathon session. last
week to vote on the charter's
236 clauses without the partici-
pation of liberal and Christian
members. The fast-track hearing
pre-empted a decision from the
Supreme Constitutional Court
that was widely expected to dis-
solve the constituent assembly.
The judges -on Sunday post-
poned their ruling on that case
just before they went on strike.
Without a functioning justice
system, Egypt will be plunged
even deeper into turmoil. It has
already seen a dramatic surge in
crime after the uprising, while
state authority is being chal-
lenged in many aspects of life
and the courts are burdened by a
massive backlog of cases.
"The country cannot func-
tion for long like this, something
has to give," said Negad Borai, a
private law firm director and a
rights activist. 'We are in a coun-
try without courts of law and a
president with all the powers in
his hands. This is a clear-cut dic-
tatorial climate," he said.
Mohamed Abdel-Aziz, a rights
Mohammed Morsi surrounded the
ins strike
lawyer, said the strike by the
judges will impact everything
from divorce and theft to finan-
cial disputes that, in some cases,
could involve foreign investors.
"Ordinary citizens affected by
the strike will become curious
about the details of the current
political crisis and could possi-
bly make a choice to join the pro-
tests," he said.
The Judges Club, a union with
9,500 members, said late Sunday
that judges would not, as custom-
ary, oversee the national referen-
dum Morsi called for Dec. 15 on
the draft constitution hammered
out and hurriedly voted on last
week.
The absence of their over-
sight would raise more questions
about the validity of the vote. If
the draft is passed-in the referen-
dum, parliamentary electionsare
to follow two months later and
they too may not have judicial
supervision.
The judges say they will
remain on strike until Morsi
rescinds his decrees, which the
Egyptian leader said were tem-
porary and needed to protect the
nation's path to democratic rule.
For now, however, Morsi has
to contend with the fury of the
judiciary.
The constitutional court called
Sunday "the Egyptian judiciary's
blackest day on record."
