All I have seen from you in your misplaced defense of Zelaya is a couple of alleged procedural foot faults by the Honduran government.

Who stepped over the line first?

Answer: Your commie cowboy did. He is the one and only cause of this problem and the Hondurans are handling it as well as they can be expected to. Don’t forget the bottom line for them is the denial of any executive to assume unbalanced power,

...a couple of alleged procedural foot faults by the Honduran government

Nope. The instant that the plane carrying Zelaya left Honduran airspace, a violation of the Honduran Constitution (Article 102) and a kidnapping occurred. A crime.

On July 3rd, the Miami Herald published the following statement:

"We know there was a crime there," said Inestroza, the top legal advisor for the Honduran armed forces. ``In the moment that we took him out of the country, in the way that he was taken out, there is a crime. Because of the circumstances of the moment this crime occurred, there is going to be a justification and cause for acquittal that will protect us."

This argument won't wash in any legitimate court, and the officer who ordered the deportation will be charged with a serious crime and will sing like a canary. I expect that he or his superiors will testify that the deportation was authorized by someone on the Supreme Court. And the National Congress leadership will be implicated in the crime, too.

The problem with your analysis is that the Constitution authorizes and is superior to all three government branches, not the other way around.

I'll comment on the other "alleged procedural foot faults" in later posts.
