LIVE THREAD: House debate and vote on Obamatrade: C-span 1
C-span 1

Posted on 06/12/2015 6:38:32 AM PDT by ken5050

The House this morning takes up the bill to authorize Obama to negotiate a Trans-Pacific trade deal. Despite the GOP leadership's support, conservatives may well defeat it: they fell by one vote short last night, on a procedural vote on the rule, that would have killed it. Call your congresscritters to vote NO, and post comments and links here if you wish

” At least Cruz has proven that he will not sacrifice principal to pacify the most shrill on the right. “

Cruz has proven he’s dumb enough to vote for something 73% of the American public does not want. Shades of Marco Rubio and the Gang of Eight. Some take longer than others to wise up.

Steve King (R-Iowa_ “we’re hopeful, and expect that the president is going to sign this bill and also abide by the provisions in it.”

Why is she talking so long and what is she talking about?

Obama told her to delay the vote and to kiss his ass!

She's mad because the repubs got to add a couple of amendments to one of the bills, but democrats weren't allowed too. So nothing she wants got tagged along in the bill. I think she's going to decide to vote against it...

Its always entertaining to watch a fruitcake talk. Maybe she'll run against Hillary :)

You think in the backroom Obammy has decided he doesn’t want it with the restrictions of immigration and climate?

Rollcall tweets help me understand what goes on...

“Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

FYI: Nancy Pelosi can be direct and forceful. I’ve seen it. This is a maundering, weird defense of voting for trade while voting against it. “

Don’t know why the GOPe is giving the Dems such a clear chance to be populist defenders of the common man- when they’re not.

Per Neil Cavuto, Pelosi has come out against the bill and wants to slow the process of consideration down.

Yep, but that would give everyone on both sides time to reload.

Good points by Ryan, but the legislation is too flawed.
And we’re no longer in the ‘superior’ position in trade negotiations. We’re beggars now.

Voting now on Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 15 minute vote. CSPAN saying if this doesn’t clear the rest likely will not be voted on.

Sadly I think it will pass by 1 or 2 votes.
