Greece to vote on ditching the Euro. Egypt’s fledgling democracy faces a test. Obama by-passes Congress on immigration reforms. The GAO scorches Fed directors.

Greeks go back to the polls to choose between an austerity plan and one that would include abandoning the Euro. That option has bankers bracing for global economic chaos. With hours to go before elections, Egypt’s high court dissolved that nation’s first freely elected parliament in decades, and then approved the presidential candidacy of former dictator Hosni Mubarak's Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafik. Meanwhile, President Obama bypasses Congress on big immigration policy changes. And the GAO goes after the Fed on preferential treatment for Fed directors current and former. (Joshua Treviño joins us today as guest panelist.)
