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

Still 12 not voted. And several of the yeas became nays after the time had ended when it was obvious it was going to fail

The beltway GOP is too greedy and stupid to see the collapse of the base that is on the horizon. They’ve pimped out Main Street one time to many, IMO.


+1

Just incredible and after Obama let everyone know this is a vote for his Presidency. If this were a parliamentary system he would have to resign immediately.

The House still has ears. Due to the 17th, the Senate is deaf, dumb and blind.

Only until Boehner adds more goodies for the Dems.
Then it’ll be back.

Time to hold a ‘pubbie liedership vote.... throw out Boehner and Ryan and the rest from the leadership and put in rational conservatives.

No doubt...FReepers always do the due diligence. I’ve called Sen Sessions office, Sen Cruz’ office (can’t get through), read all the info - both pro and con - and just couldn’t wrap my mind around why this stink bill deserved to pass.
