Despite a constitutional ban on consecutive presidential re-election, six Sandinista Supreme Court magistrates in Nicaragua loyal to Daniel Ortega ruled Oct. 19 that the law barring re-election is unconstitutional. The opposition, business leaders and social groups have all criticized the ruling as illegal and issued statements claiming they don't recognize the verdict.
The U.S. State Department and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have both come out strongly against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's questionable efforts to perpetuate in power after his term ends in 2011.
