"The Supreme Court of Honduras has constitutional and statutory authority to hear cases against the President of the Republic and many other high officers of the State, to adjudicate and enforce judgments, and to request the assistance of the public forces to enforce its rulings."
—Congressional Research Service, August 2009
Ever since Manuel Zelaya was removed from the Honduran presidency by that country's Supreme Court and Congress on June 28 for violations of the constitution, the Obama administration has insisted, without any legal basis, that the incident amounts to a "coup d'état" and must be reversed. President Obama has dealt harshly with Honduras, and Americans have been asked to trust their president's proclamations.
Now a report filed at the Library of Congress by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) provides what the administration has not offered, a serious legal review of the facts. "Available sources indicate that the judicial and legislative branches applied constitutional and statutory law in the case against President Zelaya in a manner that was judged by the Honduran authorities from both branches of the government to be in accordance with the Honduran legal system," writes CRS senior foreign law specialist Norma C. Gutierrez in her report.

It seems that Mrs. Clinton is peeved with the court because it ruled that restoring Mr. Zelaya to power under a proposal drafted by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias is unconstitutional. Thus, the State Department decided that in defense of the rule of law it would penalize the members of the Supreme Court for their interpretation of their constitution. Fourteen justices had their U.S. visas pulled.

Prolly doesn’t have anything to do with what Hillary! might have wanted. She’s just a pawn now.
Ah Hillary, forever grabbing the wrong end of the stick and then punishing everyone else for the crap on your hands.
Hillary needs to sit down for some nice interviews with Andrew Breitbart.
Obama, The Clinton’s, the majority of the Democrat majority in Congress, the RINO’s within the Republican Party are anti-American, and either bretheren of the Commies, or opportunists with Socialist bent IMO.
They are out to destroy this country, and are making progress on a daily basis towards their goal(s).
Wondering if there will be anything left for us to work with of our Constitutional Government by next election if by the grace of Obama there is one?
Someone please remind me again for which Czar the Secretary of State takes shorthand memos?
It’s an absolutely grotesque outrage what the Democrats are doing vis-a-vis Hondurus. It pretty much reminds me of jimmy carter and his treachery in Iran which installed the mullahs.
Why are leftists always on the wrong side of history empowering criminals and murderers and despots in third world countries???
It makes Hillary nervous to see a President removed from office for flouting the law.
Because she knows her husband should have.
Wow, what’s next for Hills? Ambassador to Antartica?
lol she wants communism so bad....cant believe our country wont throw Honduras a bone and help them save themselves from a dictator. I believe she would send troops if she could.
It’s the way the commies have always worked. They only believe in the rule of law when the law rules their way. Nor do they see anything wrong with that because they believe believe ultimately all power belongs to them by natural, if not divine, law.
ANY power in other hands is, by their definition, illegitimate and temporary. At best it is a temporary aberration in need of eventual correction, at worst a horrendous unnatural state that must be corrected immediately by any means necessary.

It’s payback to Reagan for winning in El Salvador and saving Central America from the Soviets, another step on the defeat of Communism, a defeat which we are in the process of reversing.

Makes sense, she would finally have that executive job she has craved for so long.
Hillary, Evita wasn’t Honduran.
Becuase they have some level of empathy with those thugs because that is what they aspire to here.
...and IF Zer0Bambi "tanks"...
she'll be there to pick-up the
pieces, to the "joy" of the 'Rats.
Hillary is falling into another Obama trap.
She has been sidelined by his shadow government and sees this as an opportunity to make herself relevant.
She should be asking herself why Obama has thrown her this bone and is letting her take the lead on Hondoras when he keeps her pretty much a non-entity on most other foreign policy issues.
He wants to do some nasty work on Hondoras and is setting her up to take the blame.
