[Awesome]

I've now full confidence in the theory that the PPP really wants there to be a coup since they can't win in 2013, they want to go out with an excuse.

Making Deedar, a PPP man, the man in charge of arresting PPP members, is ridiculous. The court can keep giving orders to arrest this n that, if they will not be followed, who'll come and arrest the police? PPP have removed any and all constitutional ways of removing them.

There is only now one thing in the constitution that may pave way for some big change, Article 190 which states:

190. Action in aid of Supreme Court.
All executive and judicial authorities through out Pakistan shall act in aid of the Supreme Court.

Army might not be used to coup, but might be used to arrest people considering that the NAB chief wont.
