Should Pawlenty follow Obama Honduran precedent on ignoring Supreme Court rulings?

Politics

It is interesting to note that despite the fact that the Honduran Supreme Court had ordered the arrest of former Honduran President Zelaya following Zelaya’s continued disobedience of Supreme Court orders, Obama wrongfully and shamefully called the actions of the military in following lawful orders a "military coup".  Thus, Obama believes that a chief executive can ignore orders of the highest court in the jurisdiction if the executive so chooses.  And, that even though the chief exeucitve ignores the constitution and lawful orders, he should still remain as the chief exectuive.

All of which brings us to Minnesota and its Senate race.  The Minnesota Supreme Court determined that Al Franken has won the election.  But, under the Obama Honduran precedent, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is not obligated to follow the orders of the Supreme Court, just like Honduran President Zelaya didn’t have to follow the orders of his Supreme COurt.

It would be fun to watch Pawlenty give Obama a good jab in the gut, and bring up the Obama Honduran precedent and make Obama look like a fool for at least a couple of hours.
