Maggie's Farm

Hillary has hardly covered herself with glory since she became Secretary of State. Early on, she and Mr. Obama went off on the wrong side of the Manuel Zelaya thing in Colombia, coming down on the side of Zelaya, who was trying to make an end run around their country's Constitution, which explicitly forbids a President from serving more than one term. Their Supreme Court upheld their Constitution [naturally] and removed Mr. Zelaya from office. So Ms. Hillary proceeded to describe this as "a political coup." To see how ridiculous this is, just shift the action to the U.S., another country run as a constitutional democracy. If our President should decide to serve three terms instead of the two legally allowed here, I should hope our Supreme Court would remove him unless and until our Congress would repeal the present law mandating a limit of two terms as President.

That was no "political coup" in Colombia, Hillary. That was a constitutionally sanctioned action. It's time you figured out the difference.
