Did Congress not just vote to ratify the agreement...How was Congress left out of the process? Good lord, this is law school 101 (or civics 101 for that matter).
Congress did not write the agreement, nor, under the rules of "free trade" are they allowed to modify the CAFTA.
If you are the only institution that is authorized by Congress to regulate trade, and you don't write the trade agreements and you can only vote yes or no, not ammend or change the agreement, that sounds pretty unconsitutional to me. Or should we call it anti-Consitutional?
And you get an "F".
The Constitution clearly gives the authority to Congress alone to regulate trade with foreign countries. It does not give Congress the authority to vote their authority over to the WTO... which is exactly what they did last night. The language is quite clear... Unless you are a lawyer or something. :-)
