She says Honduras must embrace the principles of democracy and respect constitutional order.

She should visit Pelosi's House once in awhile...

“She says Honduras must embrace the principles of democracy and respect constitutional order.”

They are just preparing us for our future and the “constitutionality” that their action will have.

Just wait. Our elections are not far behind. Think ACORN and the rest of the bottom dwellers.

What’ll we do...and what should our military do...when we know beyond any doubt that the left wingers have stolen another election?

Manuel Zelaya is a Marxist trying to change the Honduran constitution by illegal means so he could stay in power forever (just like his friend Hugo).

The lower courts, the congress and the supreme court ALL rules against him.

The Honduras military is very professional and well regarded by the population. They are also SWORN to uphold the Constitution and people in the Honduras Armed Forces are NOT allowed to vote.

What Obama and Clinton don't like is the eerie parallels to the USA...!

Since the Honduran SUPREME COURT directed this action be taken, WOULDN’T THAT MAKE THIS ACTION “CONSTITUTIONAL”? Afterall, the Supreme Court here in America has the final word on everything.

I think our current administration should take note of what happens when a president tries to exercise “extra-constitutional” powers - the peeps get upset. Did the Honduran president overstep his bounds by placing a referendum on a ballot - did he have the power to do so?

It is heart warming to know that Hillary; Obama and Chavez are all of 'like-mind' here. Gives comfort as one may wonder; just who is 'right' here and who is not.

Hint: if Chavez, Obama and Hillary are NOT happy with this turn of events; then I AM. . .and I humbly offer; that ALL of us should be!

I think the Obama administration thought this was a cheap, easy opportunity to show how they are in favor of democracy, to make up for their dismal performance on Iran. Too bad, they didn’t read the Honduran Constitution before they started shooting from the hip.

(The Honduran President wanted to change the Constitution so that he could run again. He wanted a referendum to do that. But according to the Constitution, only the Legislature can agree to hold a referendum on the Constitution, and they wouldn’t support him. The Supreme Court supported the Legislature and said what the President wanted to do on his own was illegal. So the President had ballots printed up in Venezuela, had them brought back to Honduras, and ordered the military to distribute them. The military refused to do that so the President sacked the top military leaders. The Supreme Court then told the military to depose the President.)

Uh, er, I believe that observing constitutional law is EXACTLY what the Honduras government did when the Supreme Court urged the military to "take out the trash" as the President was seeking to circumvent their constitution through a referendum that he, undoubtedly would skew to his benefit.

The Honduran legisaltors and the Honduran Judiciary saw it for what it was and asked the military to act...which they did.

The fact that Chavez and Castro are against it was signal enough...now that Obama and Hillary are also against it, that lines up most of the marxists in this hemisphere which says that what Honduras did is much more likely to be good for liberty and republican principle.

I don't understand, I guess. The articles I've read appear to suggest that it was Zelaya who was pressing forward with an unconstitutional action by forcing a referendum that would purportedly allow him to run perpetually as leftist chief thug for life. The Honduran Supreme Court issued an order thwarting his unconstitutional action by removing him for undertaking it.

While I might not think it is a good idea for the judiciary to have such sweeping power (the US model of providing for impeachment proceedings makes more sense to me), it's not my place--or Obamarrhoid's--to second-guess the Honduran procedures. It appears to me that our own government is trying to render the Honduran constitution meaningless--much as they are trying to our own constitution.

Obama, Hillary, Castro, Chavez and Ackmunahandjob all support this leftist creep. Tells you what Obama has planned for the US. I only hope our military defends us from enemies, both foreign and DOMESTIC.

She says Honduras must embrace the principles of democracy and respect constitutional order.

So I guess she supported Nixon's right to cover up the Watergate affair in 1974, regardless of what the Congress and Supreme Court thought. Right?

Clinton says the action taken against Honduras' president should be condemned by everyone. She says Honduras must embrace the principles of democracy and respect constitutional order.

Those two positions are mutually exclusive (polar opposites, in fact), and she urges taking them both at the same time? She's welcome to her own delusions, but I'm having no part of it.

Does she mean the part of their constitution that says the section on Presidential term limits can not be amended? Or some other part?

Zelaya...was detained shortly before voting was to begin on a constitutional referendum the president had insisted on holding. The Supreme Court had ruled it illegal and everyone from the military to Congress and members of his own party opposed it.

Kind of surprised to see it couched in these terms by the AP, who usually apologize for leftist tyrants. That function has evidently fallen to our Secretary of State, who is either as misinformed about this affair as she is every other aspect of foreign policy, or openly and reflexively intervening on the side of the Left. Nobody around her is apparently capable of running a tactful curtain down on the idiot Punch and Judy Show that is U.S. foreign policy at the moment. Pray for our country.
