The Associated Press reports that Saudi Arabia’s parliament has said that it can’t even debate the ban on women driving:

"What has been decided on by religious edict is not within our authority to debate," said Saleh bin Abdullah Malek, the secretary general of the Shura Council, an advisory body appointed by the king.

Naturally.

Last year in an interview with Barbara Walters, King Abdullah said that women would eventually be allowed to drive. Sounds like it’s really coming along. Jeez.
