Lying Ted Cruz lied? Whodathunkit?

Exactly!

[sargon]

This 'fast track' authority has been given to every president since FDR because it is necessary if you’re going to have international agreements.

Utter, reeking bullshit.

So, apparently, before FDR, there was no such thing as an international agreement? Otherwise known as a "treaty"?

Who cares when this crap started? It hamstrings Congress' ability to amend the agreement. It's an act of capitulation. That's not a good thing.

And it also places enormous pressure to then pass a bill which could be horribly flawed, because since it can't be amended, you'd have to throw the whole thing out and start over.

All that fast track authority does is relieve legislators of their Constitutional responsibility to act in the best interest of the American People, and to do the hard legwork necessary to hammer out a good agreement for the country.

"Fast track authority is necessary?" Again, that's total globalist propaganda.

Point me to what specific terms are made in the agreement at hand (TPP or TPA) where America concedes political boundaries or constitutional sovereignty.

The only thing twisting are your comments John.

“The Trumpettes that are swallowing and regurgitating this swill are saps of the highest order.”

You basically say the same exact thing every day. You can’t post without denigrating Trump supporters.

You’re a broken record.

Yawn.

The Congress is just a rubber stamp since it can't add amendments and the Senate only needs 50 votes!

This is why these rotten trade deals ALWAYS get passed.

Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with my post.

Yeah like this also....

[fortheDeclaration]

Brady, my Congressman who voted for FT, stated that he has put up a bill to close immigration loopholes in the bill

That is why they make these trade bills so thick so no one can see what is in them!

[Mr Apple]

Your pic of that liar demoniod in #4 -is exactly on mark. That is Cruz!

[fortheDeclaration]

Exactly!!!!

[JediJones]

Nobody bypassed the Constitution. If you think they did, go ahead and sue Congress for violating the law of the land.

[DoughtyOne]

[fortheDeclaration]

Congress gave up it's Constitutional responsibility by giving fast track authority to the President.

No different then giving him the ability to wage undeclared wars!

[Jim W N]

That’s the problem. You people can’t distinguish between voluntary exchange in the free market which does not threaten American political sovereignty versus political boundary or constitutional concessions which blur or destroy American political sovereignty. Market exchanges free of government interference simply DOES NOT threaten our sovereignty.

But it is very hard to get through to you people because you are immersed in your inflammatory but confused and empty rhetoric. The “globalism” that is a threat is POLITICAL globalism that destroys political boundaries. Global voluntary trade free from government interference has NO power nor desire to destroy political boundaries or sovereignty. Rather it makes a nation wealthy.

[MarMema]

And don’t mind that he rarely answers a question.
