Washington, D.C., associate Carlos Ramos-Mrosovsky and Matthew Raymer (a member of the California bar), co-authored an article, "Saving the Rule of Law," which was published in the July 24, 2009, edition of the National Review.
Ramos-Mrosovsky and Raymer's article questions the response by President Obama to the change of government in Honduras, which Obama denounced as an illegal "coup," but which the authors state was a "response to an extraordinary threat to the rule of law." According to the authors, the change, which was instituted by the Honduran congress and supreme court, with widespread support from the Honduran public, "replaced Manuel Zelaya, a president determined to seize autocratic power in the Chavista mold, with an interim civilian government led by an elected member from Zelaya's own party."
The authors note that critics of the action miss the larger point that "Zelaya sought to overthrow his country's budding constitutional democracy and add Honduras to Latin America’s lengthening list of Venezuelan-style dictatorships."
