LIVE THREAD: House debate and vote on Obamatrade: C-span 1

C-span 1

[mrsmith]

TAA passes.
I guess Boehner and Obama showed the Dems they could pass TPA and if they wanted TAA the Dems better vote in.
Weird.

[txmissy]

I am so confused. But, I feel certain we are getting screwed one way or another.

[kjam22]

TAA hasn’t passed yet. It is going to revoted because it failed the first time.

[FR_addict]

“CSPAN says the TPA part can't go to the president unless the TAA is also passed. These two are joined together by the Senate. So as of now... it is all still not going into law. Not sure when the reconsideration vote will happen. “

Okay. Didn't realize that.

[central_va]

8th Ohio please ditch the douche in ‘16.

[acoulterfan]

Then why did they keep saying that it had to be voted in as it could never be voted on again?

[FR_addict]

They are playing games.

[kjam22]

They're voting the customs part of this evil trinity. It is going to pass big time. This is the part that republican language was added which limits obammy from negotiating climate change or immigration in any trade deal.

Dems are voting against and republicans voting overwhelmingly for it.

At some point they will vote on Boehner's motion to reconsider the TAA part. All 3 have to pass or none take effect.

[mrsmith]

Thanks.
This vote is instead on the motion to concur in Senate amendment with an amendment to H.R. 644 I gather. Or rather ‘guess’ LOL!

[kjam22]

And technically.... once this passes it has to go back to the Senate because they amended the senate version by adding the climate change and immigration language.

[central_va]

They will “deem” it passed and go get drunk.

[AU72]

Congress has been a rigged game for quite a while.

[Cementjungle]

WITH TPA, the public will have 60 days to review it and see what’s in it.

Didn't they promise that with Obamacare too, then he went and signed it right away anyway?

[kjam22]

Right ..... they are voting to concur with the senate motion, but have also added their own amendment. SO it will have to go back to the Senate at some point..... And will easily pass there.

They will “deem” it passed and go get drunk.

Business as usual. Traitors.

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

Please correct me if I am wrong but I think we just lost the country.

[bkepley]

Obamacare was not passed using TPA. It is TPA that makes the 60 days a requirement.

[kjam22]

Its not over yet. The dems will have to flip flop big time on TAA to get all of this through. That means someone right now is promising Pelosi something.... We’ll find out someday what that promise is.

"I am so confused. But, I feel certain we are getting screwed one way or another."

You are not alone. Whatever they are doing, it is not to benefit the US or the bulk of its citizenry.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I think we just lost the country.

That happened when Nixon went to China but we are just now realizing it.
