REPEAL THE 17TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ted Cruz was interviewed just now by Mark Levin. During the interview, Cruz stated that he and Sessions tried unsuccessfully to get added to TPA a clause that placed immigration forever off of trade agreements. Note that.
Trey Gowdy released this last week in defense of his vote for TPA:
“Finally, this new and modernized version of TPA in no way endangers U.S. sovereignty; rather, it empowers Congress and the American people, not the president or the executive branch. The TPA bill specifically says that any provision of a trade agreement that conflicts with U.S. law, be it immigration, environmental regulations or labor rules, will have no effect, and that U.S. law will supersede any foreign law in a dispute.”
Gowdy lied.
Trade law myths - you posted this in defense of Cruz’s first vote:
“Future trade deals would not be unconstitutional, nor would they undermine U.S. sovereignty, if they contained an agreement to submit some disputes to an international tribunal for an initial determination. The United States will always have the ultimate say over what its domestic laws provide. No future agreement could grant an international organization the power to change U.S. laws.”
According to what Cruz just said, that there were no immigration restrictions placed in TPA, the above quote is not true and is the reason he voted against it today. Now there are some talking points Cruz released to justify his first vote wherein he stated that immigration restrictions were in fact contained in the TPA he voted for. He was not telling the truth then. I will find it when I have the time.
It’s dizzying to watch McCarthy and Levin spin as they try to square their support of free trade with their nominal opposition to TPA and support of Cruz - and in the case of Levin his financial support by the unabashedly protectionist American Jobs Alliance.
Let me restate that: where is my apology?
