Turkish speaker wants new constitution after ruling

How typical: Fundies are wrong and try to force their wrong on everyone else and the fundies in Turkey are still trying to do just that ...

Turkey's parliamentary speaker has proposed a new constitution and the re-establishment of an upper house of parliament to reduce the power of the country's top court.

Koksal Toptan's suggestions come after the Constitutional Court on Thursday rebuffed an attempt by the Islamic-oriented government to lift a ban on Muslim head scarves in universities.

Toptan's suggestions appear to be aimed at rearranging the sharing of power between the judiciary and the Parliament and immediately drew the ire of the main secular opposition party.

Toptan accuses the Constitutional Court of "overstepping its power and seizing the power of the Parliament," in remarks on Saturday. The government leveled similar accusations against the court on Friday night.

There was no immediate comment from the government to Toptan's suggestions.

It will never happen the way the fundies want as long as the military supports the majority of the non-fundies of Turkey so the better get used to the idea.
