>>When Congress approved NAFTA in 1993 with a simple majority of both chambers in a lame duck session, they ignored the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that the international treaty be approved by two-thirds of the U.S. Senate. Setting aside our U.S. Constitution has destabilized our borders with Mexico and Canada and created new and mounting crises.<<

1. NAFTA is not a treaty. Its legislation regulating international trade. Thus it is not co-equal with the constitution as supreme law of the land.

2. The appeals court judge who threw out the argument made in this article (which is a re-hash of the Steel worker’s union’s lawsuit) said even if it was a treaty it had been ratified under Fast Track while President Bush41 was in office.

3. The Supreme court declined to hear the appeal. This is settled law.

Beware of Chinese Communist supporters, free traders, low wage supporters and profits seekers, that have no regard for consequences. We are surrounded by traitors.
