"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)."

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. :-)
