http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4451007.stm Ecuador's President Lucio Gutierrez has fired the Supreme Court and declared a state of emergency in the capital. Speaking on television, Mr Gutierrez said he had taken the drastic measures in order to maintain calm and stability in the country. The crisis began in December, when Mr Gutierrez first fired the Supreme Court, alleging that the magistrates were biased against him. (sound familiar? hi Rick Santorum)  |
