What was the rush to sign it if people didn't even know they were signing ? Another Blozo Clinton Legacy item.

Maybe it's time for Congress to start paying attention to all those pesky details!

Maybe it's time for Congress to start paying attention to all those letters they got telling them this stuff was in there. Or maybe it's time for Congress to just admit (to the people) that this is what they intend.

They're still among the missing - I guess that they don't want to acknowledge the bastard that their policies have produced.

NAFTA.

Can you believe there is a power of corruption even higher than our USSC?

"The availability of this additional layer of review, above even the United States Supreme Court, is a significant development, legal scholars said.

"If Congress had known that there was anything like this in Nafta," he said, "they would never have voted for it."

If that's true, then Congress has the duty, the will and the votes to repeal it. Therefore, it is not true; it's the same tactic as avoiding the bad smell from you own fart.

"It's basically been under the radar screen," Peter Spiro, a law professor at Hofstra University, said. "But it points to a fundamental reorientation of our constitutional system. You have an international tribunal essentially reviewing American court judgments." The part of Nafta that created the tribunals, known as Chapter 11, received no consideration when it was passed in 1993.

"Free" trade bum!
