If only we here in the U.S. had the same collective courage to do the same to those in our own government who consistently operate outside of their constitutional mandate.

Amen Brother. And perhaps that is the exact reason why our leaders are siding with Castro and Chavez on this. Perhaps they want to set a precedence just in case?

[O'Dannyboy]

Perhaps a handful of properly motivated people would introduce legislation that would make it easier to get them out of office as it was to get them in to office. Our representatives should not be allowed to get comfortable to the point they feel untouchable. If every week they stood a chance of being impeached they would think twice before second guessing the will of the people.

ooooooooh - standing and applauding!

Lol. I've no doubt this has all be suggested before. Perhaps being vocal in such venues as the Heritage Club might begin a movement to enact such legislation. While I have no doubt most representatives would vote against such changes, I believe it's time the people begin telling their representatives how to vote since it seems our "representatives" have selective hearing. It seems it might be potentially as difficult to enact such legislation as it has been to impose term limits. The way I see it, it's time to remind our "representatives" that it's not their decision. Perhaps there is a way to sidestep the congress, senate and house and put it to a vote. These political "machines" need to be given an overhaul and perhaps we can improve their fuel economy and reduce their carbon footprint as well.

are you advocating getting the army to organize a coup against the democratically elected President? Because that's what happened in Honduras.

Actually, my understanding is that the Supreme Court in Honduras made a ruling and asked the Army to uphold the Constitution of that Nation.

Do you advocate that Dictatorial Socialists should be allowed to move to Totalitarianism without accountability?

Actually Amor,

I just went and looked at three articles on the subject matter and they all state the same thing. The duly Elected Congress and the duly Nominated Courts system of Honduras found what the President was doing was unconstitutional. He was seeking an unconstitutional referendum to take for himself powers that he does not possess as said President. He was moving in a Dictatorial fashion and the duly Elected Congress and duly Nominated Courts had the military stop him and prevent a Constitutional crisis.

It's pretty cut and dry, they were within their constitutional mandate to do so.

The fact that the Leftists in the U.S. and the Leftists in the U.N. are upset about this and want El Presidente` returned to power speaks volumes and every American best rise up and pay close attention.

It's an absolute crying shame that the U.S. Goevrnment will not stand for the Rule of Law anymore and stands with Leftist Dictators of the likes of the U.N., Venezuala's Chavez, Cuba's Castro, and Danny Ortega.

Wake Up America and throw these stinking commie leftist bum's out!

Peace,

Dave

That is an understatement Brother. I seriously doubt that the majority of Americans will realize the implications of this. This is scary stuff.
