Quito, ECUADOR: Policemen stand guard at Ecuador's Congress in Quito on March 8th, 2007, to prevent 57 fired lawmakers from entering the building amid rising tension over proposed constitutional reform in the volatile South American nation. The Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) on Wednesday ordered the firing of 57 members of the 100-strong unicameral Congress, accused of blocking a plebiscite to call for a new Constituent Assembly and the possibility to dissolve Congress.
