This means we are officially a Cuban colony now. The Supreme Court doesn't give a damn about the constitution after declaring this. Nevermind that the President is in no capacity to govern at all. Do you guys honestly think this kind of situation would happen in the US or any other developed nation for that matter? A few years ago, people were applauding that the Hondurans ousted out their president because he was not obeying the constitution. Instead in Venezuela, all the powers obey only what Chavez says, no matter what the constitution states. Sure doesn't sound like democracy to me.
