The Mexican court system is set to make it's final ruling on the disputed July 2nd presidential election sometime Tuesday.
It is widely believed that it will choose to affirm the results of the election. But the challenger has vowed not to accept such a decision, claiming that he will form a new government in Mexico City, attempt to collect taxes, and to put the winner of the election, Felipe Calderon, "under seige."
Protests have already turned violent, with police using clubs and tear gas to break up a small protest after the protesters began throwing rocks at them. This is merely a sign of things to come if the court affirms the election results.
Outgoing President Fox has vowed to make sure that the winner is installed as Mexico's sole leader, whether it's Calderon or his opponent, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. This is going to get a lot worse real quick.
