Over at Cato-at-Liberty, Tom Palmer provides an interesting take on the confusion surrounding what has been called a “military-led coup” in Honduras.
Tom Palmer suggests that the military is acting to remove a President who has acted well outside the bounds of the Constitution. This is in line with the vote of the Honduran Congress. He likens it to our military removing a President who has rejected the authority of the Federal Election Commission, Supreme Court, and Congress.
An op-ed in today’s Wall Street Journal argues the military was acting to defend its democracy, not to undermine it. Other world figures opposed to the “coup” include Hugo Ch?vez and Fidel Castro.
