Let me get this straight. The Honduran President is told he can not run for another term, due to the Constitution of Honduras. He decides (illegally) to hold a special referendum vote to change the constitution. The Honduran Supreme Court issues a decision that he is NOT allowed to unilaterally and illegally attempt to change the constitution. He continues attempting to break the law. The military and courts have him arrested and exiled. If I break the law, the police arrest me. Rule of law applies to everyone, government officials included.
The problem that our government has with this situation is that they don't want people to be reminded that government officials can and SHOULD be removed from power by force if they won't follow the law.
