[ Any “Free Trade” Agreement that has to be negotiated in more secrecy than most wartime peace treaties bodes poorly for “freedom”....
And yet, that same “treaty” has to be approved by Congress. Which effectively trumps the secrecy issue. ]
until Recently it took a 2/3 Vote from the Senate to pass such a treaty....
Now it will only take a “Simple majority of 51 votes”...
Everyone thank Mitch McConnell...
And if Mitch gave away the horse for this, no doubt they may just “Fast track it without reading it” “We have to pass if before we don’t find out what is in it”....
Call me paranoid, call me cynical, but I don’t trust either fool who runs the house or the senate...
There’s a HUGE chasm between passed, Lawful and Constitutional.
I’m still trying to noodle out how ‘All equal under the Law’ still jives with the Exempt Class of Congress. But, I guess, when one realizes where ones’ paycheck comes from, the oligarchy of black robes could rule no different.
My one true depressing point: We have not yet ‘stormed the gates’ to oust (or better) those that no longer protect our Republic, Rights, Freedom and Liberty.
