In Honduras where Pres Zalada was illegally trying to organize a
referendum to allow himself to remain pres beyond the end of his term,
he had imported ballots from Chavez. The army which is charged by
their constitution with organizing elections took the ballots for safe
keeping. Zalada sent his thugs to steal said ballots.
Aside from the fact that the Pres of Honduras cannot organize such a
referendum, it has to be done by the legislative branch, his stealing
the ballots to make sure he "won" resulted in him being arrested after
a court order by the Supreme Court ruled his actions illegal and
unconstitutional. This was not a coup but was legal and in accord
with their constitution.
Now, Obama, Chavez and Castro want Honduras to ignore their law and
his illegal actions and put him back in power. What ever happened to
rule of law? If the constitution of a govt means nothing to these
people, maybe we should not think it applies to them and remove them
by ANY means.
Obama needs to answer to us on whether constitutionality means
anything to him.
