Comments on: Ecuadoran Crisis Continues http://poliblogger.com/?p=11663 A rough draft of my thoughts...

At least one can make an argument about electoral legitimization both in the election of the Assembly and the replacement of Congress (essentially the same argument the Colombian Supreme Court made in regards to the seventh ballot and the subsequent calling of the Assembly). Still, an example of non-presidential dismissal. I am especially struck by the fact that it is only part of the legislature that was dismissed. Can you think of anything similar elsewhere?

It arguably lacked the authority to do so, though it also arguably had greater legitimacy than an electoral tribunal in doing so.
