... their own head of state on constitutional grounds. Apparently, when it’s a choice between a chief executive on the one hand and said chief executive’s country’s judiciary, legislature, military, and own political party on the other… well, it all apparently depends on what Hugo Chavez thinks.

... But if such a plan were desirable and feasible, nothing would stop someone from setting it up right now. In essence, a public plan without taxpayer support would be yet another nonprofit company offering health insurance. The fundamental viability of the enterprise does not depend on whether the employees are called “nonprofit administrators” or “civil servants.”

Obamination Regime Backs Deposed Marxist Tyrant in Honduras
Moonbattery —
... business what happens to those who rise up against tyranny in Iran, but let them successfully depose a tyrant in Honduras, and our rulers suddenly lose their distaste for "meddling." Comrade Obama and Shrillary have come down on the side of the Marxist strongman Manuel Zelaya, who tried to pull a Hugo Chavez in Honduras and found himself out of a job. Risibly, they have been blathering about the "rule of law" — as if either had a shred of respect for the concept.
Hot Air summed up the situation yesterday:

... and here) who see this move as the salvation of democracy: what about due process and rule of law? Yes, Zelaya was engaged in illegal actions, so find a legally appropriate way of dealing with it. Summary judgment and immediate exile aren’t exactly the hallmarks of democratic governance (petty criminals get more process than that). It seems that most of the defenders of the coup (or those who wish to dismiss the notion that it was a coup) assume that arrest and exile was not only legal, but it was basically the only option available. ...

... . And, true to form, he picked the wrong side . Reaction to the apparent coup was swift. U.S. President Barack Obama said he was “deeply concerned” and called on all political actors in Honduras to “respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Any existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference,” he said. The Obama administration worked in recent days to prevent President Zelaya’s ouster, a senior U.S. official said. The State Department, in particular, ...
Obama gets testy with his Lefty friends over Honduras
Patterico's Pontifications —
... Pres. Obama apparently had nothing to say about why his first impulse was to meddle on behalf of Zedaya, who tried to illegally amend the Honduran constitution and whose allies are thugs like Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, and the Castro brothers. He is doing the right thing now, but it would be nice if Dr. Strangelove could learn to keep the arm down. ...
