NAFTA has supplanted the U.S. Constitution as the law of the land...

Let's not get too hysterical, shall we? These tribunals only apply to NAFTA trade cases, and congress can abrogate them at any time. For that matter, the courts could do the same, foreign policy or treaties notwithstanding.

Personally, I think the treaty should be amended so that only jurists from the member nations are included.

Perhaps it is past time to get emotionally involved.

Um-hmm. But they won't unless lots of people get "hysterical", now, will they?

For that matter, the courts could do the same, foreign policy or treaties notwithstanding.

Apparently not. Per the article, a NAFTA tribunal can continue a case after a state and the U.S. Supreme court made their decisions. (Yes, I know, the U.S. Supreme court declined to hear the case.)

Personally, I think the treaty should be amended so that only jurists from the member nations are included.

I have a better idea. Get rid of NAFTA.

You forgot to mention how long it takes a nation to withdraw from NAFTA!!!
