Maybe he voted for it before he voted against it. It wouldn’t be the first time.

I don’t get it. If you quote Kerry accurately, why did Kerry initially block DeMint’s trip? Kerry seems to be arguing with himself.

Here is what Kerry said in the OAS emergency meeting on Honduras:

â€œAmerica values its longstanding partnership with Honduras, but a push to rewrite the constitution over the objections of Honduras’s top court, legislature, attorney general, and military is deeply disturbing.”

His words condemn the blocking of DeMint, the actions of Zelaya, and the actions of the administration. So does the congressional research service report.

Viva Honduras! Viva 15-0!

DeMint did not explain how the DoD figures in yet I think they provide planes and could withhold the one for the trip. I also think your “bitch” remark was unfair.

Correct me if I’m wrong but one Senator doesn’t have authority over another Senator or for that matter any citizen, and our jurisdiction ends at our borders regardless, is DeMint some sort of submissive bitch or what?

Hey DeMint wave goodbye as you step on the plane!

How does the DOD fit in this, has the Obama administration already compromised and politicized the military?

I thought our military was “apolitical”?
