Fastrack is unConstitutional under the separation of powers. That is purely looking at it from a federal level, it has nothing to do with politics.

Don't say the public thinks its ok for the president to act in an unconstitutional manner, there is absolutely no evidence that that is true, even in the matter of trade.

When Clinton was president, he couldn't get fast track passed because the public rightly feared what he would do with it. The public is obviously unhappy with the current state of trade if it is becoming a campaign issue.

Naw, The repubs did that.

I have never heard anyone but a FReeper even talk about it.

IMO, the public is quite disengaged on the issue.

There was a time, when NAFTA was getting rammed through that it was news, but since then the issue has been pretty moot.(except among a rather close group of anti-globalism people,)
