To review the facts of the case, the Supreme Court of Honduras removed
the sitting president for illegal activities.

Then, according to their Constitution, you arrest him and bring him to
trial. Having the military, not the police, put him on a plane out of
the country, is a coup.

The Congress of Honduras
appointed the new president under the Courts supervision.

As with everything else, if the obamadytes disagree with it, it is
trivialized or ignored. They still think there is no opposition to
their national health care plan.

If the Honduran Supreme Court orders the Honduran military to put him on
a plane out of the country how is that a coup d'etat?

Does the Honduran Supreme Court have the authority to order the Honduran
military to arrest the Honduran President?

Under Article 306 of the Honduran Constitution, the Supreme Court has the
right to send law enforcement to execute an arrest warrant, but it's
unclear to me, as to whether the military constitutes "law enforcement".
Under Article 102, no Honduran citizen can be exiled. From my seat,
Zelaya should have been arrested and brought to trial.

military to arrest the Honduran President?

I don't know, but all parties have to follow the Constitution, or else
it's called a coup.
