Yes, but like the Maine senator’s vote that allowed 0bamacare to proceed [that could have stopped it], this TPP too shall be maneuvered through. I for one do not trust them to a) give us 60 days or b) pay any attention to what constituents want in whatever time they “give”us.
It could have been stopped.
I hope I’m wrong.
I think you are referring to Snowe's vote in a committee solidly controlled by the Democrats to move the Baucus bill to the floor. That bill would have passed out of committee without her vote - that was not needed. That bill was never brought up on the floor for a vote - they went with another bill which she did not vote for. The Democrats held 60 seats at the time - the Republicans unanimously opposed it and voted against cloture but they didn't need a single Republican vote to move it forward with 60 seats. It was a 60-40 vote.
