Why weren't they happy with him muzzling the judiciary? I'm guessing some of the Mubarek appointees might not have been total tools and in any case could have been less supportive of strict Islamic law dominating society and government.

The Muslim Brotherhood sort of promised they wouldn't do that but once in power they were not viewed as keeping their word.
