From NRO’s The Corner:

The Law Library of the Congress of the United States (LLC) has issued an opinion on the removal and expulsion of Manuel Zelaya as president of Honduras. The LLC’s conclusion: Zelaya’s removal was legal but his deportation from the country was not.

Here is the summary of the opinion:

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. The Constitution no longer authorizes impeachment, but gives Congress the power to disapprove of the conduct of the President, to conduct special investigations on issues of national interest, and to interpret the Constitution. In the case against President Zelaya, the National Congress interpreted the power to disapprove of the conduct of the President to encompass the power to remove him from office, based on the results of a special, extensive investigation. The Constitution prohibits the expatriation of Honduran citizens.

And, so, all that talk about a coup and the Honduran government being “de-facto” and how we all have to help Honduras resolve its internal issues is just so much BS. It was all put out, of course, because Zelaya is a darling of Chavez and Castro…and we know how the American left views these men. The left was hoping to have yet another leftist regime to oppose the United States.

Obama owes the people and government of Honduras an apology – but, I doubt one will be forthcoming. Obama doesn’t apologize for his own actions…
