The Turkish Supreme Court considered but rejected the idea of outlawing the ruling Justice and Development party (AKP) because it was going a little do far in the direction of Sharia. AP says:
If the party had been banned, its leaders probably would have dissolved the government, called elections and reconstituted the party under a different name.
The case also put the AKP on notice that the court would be watching it closely for the remainder of the party's five-year term.
Despite his avowed antagonism for foreign precedent, Antonin Scalia's clerks are scouring the decision for good ole Amurican corollaries.
