It's not about closely keeping the politicians close to the Constitution and individual rights. It is about partisan views and politics. |

Astoundingly twisted logic. Actually, it is the same sort of thing going on in Honduras. We value "X," therefore we can suspend value "Y" for the greater good. Honduras: We value the constitution, therefore we can suspend the rule of law for the greater good. US: We value multiculturalism, therefore we can allow racism for the greater good. What amazes me is that so many people cannot see the forest because of all of those damn trees. Amazing. Sad, but amazing. I am, however, encouraged by the 5 on the USSC that actually saw the forest.... and I hope those firefighters (they *earned* them) see their promotions, though I fear it is still an uphill battle. Yes. This decision is a faint light at the end of a long dark tunnel. I hope this gets a lot more play in the press, but I suspect we won't hear much more about it. It will be brushed under the rug in favor of more important news like the life and death of Jocko or Billy Mays. |

The Honduran Supreme Court ruled that the referendum that the President wanted to hold was unconstitutional. The Honduran military was just upholding the Honduran Constitution as order by duly elected and legal authorities gave them orders. |

The Honduran military probably took an oath to uphold and protect their constitution. If protecting the constitution meant taking out the person who would trash it, then more power to the military.

The Honduran military was just upholding the Honduran Constitution as order by duly elected and legal authorities gave them orders. Since you think I am no "expert," you apparently consider yourself one. Therefore, Oh Magnificent Carnak, point to me the part of the Honduran Constitution legitimizing a military coup d'etat.... I would expect the Honduran military to have taken an oath to protect their constitution. They were doing so. If that is not part of their oath, then it was erroneously overlooked. They did what they should have done. The fact that Chavez, Castro, a few dictators at the UN, Obama, you, and Harry don't like it is tough bananas. -- John H "A government policy to rob Peter to pay Paul can be assured of the support of Paul." -- George Bernard Shaw |
