I've Been Thinking:

The Iranian Parliament voted to bring Ahmadinejad to court on Wednesday.

This all comes about as a result of the power struggle between Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Leader. The Iranian parliament is siding against Ahmadinejad and with the Grand Ayatollah.

In their last squabble Ahmadinejad fired the minister of oil and then took his portfolio. The parliament agreed that this act by the president was a serious power grab. They determined that the grab was illegal and now they recommending that he be tried for his actions.

In an earlier incident the Iranian president fired the minster of intelligence only to have the Grand Ayatollah rehire him immediately. Then Ahmadinejad boycotted three of his own cabinet meetings because he knew the old-new minister would be present.

The situation does not bode well for Ahmadinejad.
