80% is certainly good enough for me, and it’s a whole lot better than what we’ve had to hold our noses to vote for in the past.

That said, are you saying Senator Cruz is wrong here? I honestly don’t know enough about it to say, but I would oppose any tricks that allow Obama to get around the 2/3 vote requirement for treaties. Agreements to let Obama negotiate and present a treaty for a simple up or down vote, i.e. no amendments, are fine with me as long as that final vote is 2/3.

Yes, black mark. But we don’t have to decide up or down on them today.

Being anti statist is solely in the realm of libertarianism then?

The secrecy is certainly a big problem. If it’s a good thing, why keep it secret from the American people?

There is a lot to like about Bobby Jindal. But time will tell.

Sen. Cruz wants TPA in force when he assumes office in 2017. This is the only way he can get it, since Democrat senators would filibuster a TPA when he is President. For this, Sen Cruz is willing to forgo the ability to filibuster Obama trade agreements, allowing them to pass with fifty votes plus Biden. The danger is that the immigration provisions in TiSA and some troublesome aspects of TPP might pass by a simple majority this Fall. If Obama thinks that these provisions won’t pass, he could veto TPA or signal Democrats to vote it down in either House. Sen. Cruz is willing to take the TiSA/TPP risk if he can get TPA while he is in office and obviously thinks that the risk is manageable. Cruz and Obama are playing poker. Sen. Cruz doesn’t want to show his hand until TPA is, in his mind hopefully, passed. Only Sen. Warren is sounding the alarm on the Democrat side. Sen. Cruz does not want to add fuel to the fire by engaging on the issue. That is why Sen. Cruz is driving some of his supporters to distraction by refusing to address the issue. He is also temporarily losing conservative bloodhounds like Matt Boyle at Breitbart who are just dong their job by demanding answers.

He is MASSIVELY wrong. And for one reason. Forget everything else (although everything else matters very much as well). He is wrong to allow/vote for ANY... A N Y thing that empowers Obama to do anything including wipe himself after a dump.

He seems to have confirmed what I spotted, he signed up to promote fellow libertarian Rand Paul, and dampen support for Cruz, while subtly promoting libertarianism, while thinking that no one would so easily recognize his hidden agenda, and that he could play the troll game, while playing innocent and spontaneous.

When I was in military intelligence, I had rooms full of safes with all kinds of “good” things kept secret from the American people.

That sounds like the play of a typical politician.
