A month ago, the Law Library of Congress reviewed the removal of Manuel Zelaya from his post as President of Honduras, an act that the Obama administration called a “coup” and demanded reversed for its illegality. To the embarrassment of the White House and State Department, the Congressional body determined that Honduras acted lawfully in removing Zelaya for his crimes against their constitution, although they determined that his exile broke Honduran law. Now John Kerry wants the Law Library to retract its findings, apparently trying to rewrite history to hide the facts of the case:
OMG, when does this end?
Lurch must lay awake nights thinking of more ways to make himself look like the idiot he is.
People often maintain the United States abused its superpower position by overthrowing ostensibly representative governments. They contend the CIA cooperated with Britain’s MI6 to return the Shah to power and overthrow elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh of Iran, who later died in custody. They contend the CIA engineered assassination of elected South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem. One site lists over 50 operations to overthrow foreign governments; often elected. This and other sites contend such actions were improper, even when motivated by Cold War national interests.
However, Barack Obama’s and Hilliary Clinton’s actions to annul the Democratic processes of Honduras receive praise and silence. Clinton sanctioned the country’s independent judiciary for legally adjudicating, enforcing, and directing public forces to remove President Zelaya from office. Clinton revoked visas of the 15 Honduran justices after they failed to disregard constitutional legal imperatives for preferred logics of countries seeking Zelaya’s return to power. Praise comes from dictators Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. Silence comes from Democrat politicians and popular media.
Previously separation of powers and an independent judiciary were considered a central component of any Democracy. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson maintained Democracy must defend itself against others exploiting its tenets for destruction. The Honduran judges join Jackson in proclaiming inviolate boundaries must constrain an overreaching chief executive.
This transparent example of administration alliance with totalitarian aspirations, absent pressing U.S. interests, should provide sufficient warning of Obama’s agenda.
What a horrible man, what a horrible party he belongs to.
I fear for the worse. We have bred a large nest of evil in our Country.
They will not cease destroying until they themselves are destroyed.
I hear tell that 2012 is gonna be a hell of year!
In Orwell’s 1984 wasn’t a main character employed by the “Ministry of Truth” to perform that function.
some enterprising Conservative now needs to ask them to retract their finding that the US lost in Vietnam. That should blow the top of Kerry’s head to smithereens.
Someone email Lurch a copy so he can delete it.
One thing that Kerry is painfully aware of is that history has a way of being recorded and introduced later as evidence.
I hope folks are recording and catagorizing these things for the election campaigns for 2012.
could he be a bigger a-hole? an arrogant pompous thinks he all knowing ass. Of course,hes not alone among elected officials,just creepier than most.
Kind of like he tried to re-write some of the Vietnam history, I reckon.
Here is link to the opinion, which currently works. I made a hard copy just in case they suppress the information. Jim DeMint says there is also a State Department opinion, which he has asked to be released and they refuse.

Kerry is nothing but a kept man.
Very smart of you.
I know about the Koh opinion which no one is allowed to see. DeMint has got he teeth in their pantsleg over that, God bless him.
Kerry reminds me of something that I scrape off the bottom of my shoe when I’ve been walking out where a lot of dogs have been.
Can Kerry legally do this?
However, removal of President Zelaya from the country by the military is in direct violation of the Article 102 of the Constitution, and apparently this action is currently under investigation by the Honduran authorities.50
They should of thrown the bum in Jail!
Is that the original report or was it already modified? Seems there is support in it for either position with perhaps enough cover for Kerry and the other anti-democratic forces supporting Hugo’s boy Zelaya.
