WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham 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.
The president, Manuel Zelaya, was flown to Costa Rica after being taken into military custody at his house outside the Honduran capital.
He was detained shortly before voting was to begin on a constitutional referendum the president had insisted on holding.

“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.
The list, ping
Didn’t 0 just say that we should not “meddle” in Iran’s affairs when the evil mullahs overthrew the results of an election? 0’s hypocrisy at work, again!
Well at least she has been spotted. Good to know the Secret Service is on the job.
[(She’s on top of it, so to speak...)]
Ahh, well then it’s bound to collapse.....
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?
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...!
The Hondurans did embrace the principles of democracy and respect constitutional order. It was the President who wanted to referendum to do away with parts of the Constitution so the Congress and Supreme Court along with the military took him out. Exactly what should have happened to her husband when he lied under oath.
She is blowing smoke and really dumb to come out with this after what happened.
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?
I just think its funny that we gat that point, but they don’t(or rather do and are setting precedent). Then again, they have no respect for our Constitution, why should they have respect for their’s?
I’m liking the sound of all of this.
Too bad it couldnt happen in America.
Go break your other elbow lil hillary.
Libs always stick together. :)
