No, it wasn’t a Catch-22, because nothing about the bill currently before Congress is being done in secret.

So all the stories about a room in the basement of the Capitol into which nobody can take cell phones, cameras, paper, pens, or pencils, and a bill that nobody is allowed to talk about?--That's all made up? What's your definition of "secret"?

Yes, all that’s probably true. But those issues concern the trade agreement itself, not the authorizing bill currently under consideration. The contents of that bill are not secret. It just specifies the terms of how the up/down vote on the eventual trade agreement will be conducted.

You’re getting worked up about something that isn’t happening, or at least you’re confusing one action with the other.

Look, I don’t trust Obama, at all, but Congress is controlled by the GOP and he’ll be wasting his time if he negotiates the stuff you fear because they won’t approve the deal when it’s finally put to a vote under terms specified in the current bill under consideration.
