our supreme court doesn't have an army. like most.
it's just funny that the far right thinks the proper way to enforce a judicial decision is with a gun in this case.

The quotes were around the "coup". What they did in removing that guy was totally legit. The Supreme Court of a sovereign country declared that the president is acting far beyond his powers and is trying to change the laws so that he can take control Chavez -style and his removal was legal according to their laws. That was the legal part.
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?
