They have an election coming up. The deposed President can no longer stay in power. He tries to hijack the country and change the rule of law keeping him in power, which is worse than simply rigging the election like the Iranians did. The supreme court removes him from office (actually he ran) to ensure that the elections can legally take place and the people can elect their new leader.
But somehow in the wisdom of our current state dept, they want to strong arm the Honduran people into putting the deposed president BACK IN PLACE! You just cant make this stuff up. I thought we were in favor of democracy?

the honduran supreme court didn't remove zelaya from office. that took a few men with guns kicking in his door and flying him out of the country.
if obama is found to be acting beyond his authority by our supreme court, is the proper remedy a military coup?
it's a rhetorical question.
i hope.
btw: the "honduran people" that removed him from office is actually the same 25 families that have run the country the last 100 years. and the same 25 families that put him in power.
they made a mistake and took out the knife to cure the problem.
