>>Honest Judge, I didn’t know that foreign trade was illegal.<<

In general, it isn’t, but the DOT lying about running background checks on non-existent Mexican driver records is preposterous, and should be illegal.

It should be difficult for DOT to proceed without funding, if both houses override Bush’s veto and some idiot judge doesn’t start legislating.

"some idiot judge"

The arbitration panel has jurisdiction. And they have already found the the US to be in violation.

So, the only issue is how Mexico will be compensated?

Of course you realize that it not the Teamsters that will have to pay. It is you, the taxpayer, that will pay.

And it is not just Mexico that will have to be compensated. The private investors have a slam dunk case also, so you can compensate them too.
