We need to push free trade

For America to maintain its system of free enterprise, we cannot push "free trade". You cannot have "free trade" and not have supranational law. You cannot have "free trade" and a free country at the same time.

When the United States lowers our own trade barriers, it pursues a free trade agenda. When another contry does so, it too pursues a free trade agenda.

No supranational law needed whatsoever. Why do you think Hong Kong was so proseprous as a British Protectorate? Why is it still so prosperous today? Not becuase of tariffs and duties. http://www.heritage.org/research/features/index/country.cfm?id=HongKong
