Congressional Library Declares Zelaya Removed Legally, Outraged Democrats Want History Re-Written
A while back Senator Jim DeMint came back from Honduras and wrote that the only person in that country who wants to see the return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya is Obama’s appointed ambassador to the country. Now the Congressional Law Library, having reviewed the legalities of Zealaya’s ouster at the hands of the nation’s courts, legislature and military, has declared his removal (if not his exile) to be legal.
The reaction from Democrats in Washington DC? They’d like their history re-written:
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.
The Bush doctrine stated that it was America’s responsibility to support the aspirations of all free people. Our own Declaration of Independence reads, “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
We’ve gone from there to defending a bigoted, anti-democratic thug like Manuel Zelaya.
It’s a national embarrassment.
