Sen. Sessions pushes GOP to block trade bill
The Hill ^ | 06/22/2015 | Jordan Carney

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) is pressing his Republican colleagues to block fast-track trade legislation ahead of an expected procedural vote on Tuesday.

"As conservatives, we should look before we leap," Sessions said in a letter to his fellow Senate Republicans on Monday. "We have a second chance to get answers, but we will only get them if cloture is not invoked."

As Mitch McConnell (probably) said after his reelection:
“F you very much”

Still no explanation from Turtle McDumbo and Bonhead Boehner on why the bill’s contents have not been made public. Why the secrecy?

If they don’t get it in the first vote, they’ll vote till they get it passed.

We’ll see. TPA Ted is in the bag for cloture. So are are his friends the turtle and corny.

Looks like they’ll make the treachery final. But it’ll be a good show. Complete with drama and angst. But like any soap opera, you know someone is going to get screwed. In this case it’ll be the middle class.

TPA Ted has to keep his options open, dontcha know. You don’t want him to damage his selling value on K Street do you?

This is not the same Fast Track we saw in the past.’

That is the trick here.

Most argue that we did Fast Track before...which is true.

But this Fast Track is not like the others.

Sessions is worth more than most of the rest of the Republican senators put together.

This crap is so not needed now.

Whatever one thinks of Krauthammer’s liberal tendencies now and then, what’s wrong with biting off what we can actually chew and contract with these “transpacific” countries individually, one at a time??

Everything feels upside down now. Cruz and other people I thought were solid conservatives are enabling & fast tracking secret Obama “trade” agreements. Unbelievable.

Exactamundo. The Dems are forcing the GOP to carry the kenyan’s water and dividing the GOP base. Later they will pound the GOP with the usual millionaires and billionaires stereotypes in campaign ads. All going according to plan for Team Kenya.
