A majority cannot vote away the constitutional right of the 1/3 to nix a treaty.

Bingo.

You know I just don't understand why Ted votes for this.

Maybe he didn't go into the room and read it?

Oh and David Vitter, I'm looking at you too.
What the heck are you thinking?

The silver lining is that Cruz has lost my support and has gone from top to the bottom of the list of rino running Presidential candidates. Scratch his name.

I wouldn’t go that far. I could see myself voting for Cruz over Hillary.

But his vote to enable Obamatrade & actions after have reduced 99% of my enthusiasm for his candidacy.

It’s clear now there is no White Knight arriving to rescue us from RINOS and Demofascists. It’s clear now the next GOP POTUS will at best manage the decline of this great country because the beltway GOP simply have no interest in defending our Constitutional rights against the rampaging marxists and corportists. I wish it was otherwise but it isn’t.

The Republicrats want that voting threshold at 51. Easier to betray the American people.

The US middle class was completely sold out to big business and the United Nation decades ago. This is nothing new. The decline and fall of America marches on, right on schedule. Your great-grandchildren will have no clue what freedom is.

Odd I know. But, that was the actual vote. Dunno, if it is a house Clerk issue or something else.

Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree * , and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled .

A tribulation verse that represents the giving over of power to the anti Christ who will destroy all religious institutions on the earth before entering the temple in Israel to declare himself God. This event is near mid tribulation and will usher in the remaining 14 of the 21 judgements of the wrath of God on the earth during the last 3 1/2 years of said tribulation. The 7 year tribulation will end when the Lord Jesus Christ with His holy angels and raptured saints will descend to destroy the anti Christ and all the remaining armies of the earth as they gather to destroy Israel, the land and people that God in the person of Jesus the Christ will rule and reign over all the earth from His throne.
Interesting fact of Scripture teaching is how God will use the anti Christ to destroy the cult religions represented by the woman who rides on the beast which is the false church left behind at the rapture.

Just when we think we might have had a little clarification on this whole mess, you link us to what? An amendment to the Internal Revenue Code - penalty free withdrawals from government pension plans?


It’s a shell bill. The exact same maneuver was used to pass Obamacare. Obamacare and Obamatrade. Two peas in a pod.

Originally Paul Ryan was going use some old firefighter bill but their union objected. So we got this old IRS bill reused instead I guess.

I agree...I just see this verse working today prior to the tribulation. it is almost inexplicable why the GOPe and Conservatives and even the Tea Party would go right along with the Obama Agenda...unless you read these verses!

Trump trumps Cruz today and I think this will kill his bid for President amongst Conservatives who are patriotic as Cruz chose to support Obamatrade. Reminds me of the day Christie bowed to Obama during the Sandy Hook incident which also killed his chances with patriotic conservatives who love America and hate the left and their rino allies.

Yes indeed. It does remind me of the ruthless lust of politicians for power over people, the anti Christ will be a politician before God gives him power to rule over those left behind as the anti Christ will lead 10 nations and be worshipped by the majority of the world at that time.

Day in day out...Incrementally one step at time. They've turned America from the greatest country on earth, to something most do not even recognize today.

All this while GOP candidates are struggling to out do each other to pander and give speeches in Spanish. While Trump stated he'd build one big ass wall in record time and make Mexico pay for it.

How?

Trump sends in no-nonsense top negotiators telling these folks down there if they want to sell their stinking goods in the U.S., including Fords from their new 2.5 billion dollar Mexican plant, build the damn wall now and to our specifications.

Any supporters of Cruz that he loses over this are not going to migrate to a Democrat in a mask, like Trump.

Actually, you are correct! The TPP are regulations of commerce with foreign nations, and Congress has been granted exclusive power to regulate commerce with foreign nations!

Under our Constitution, regulations of commerce come into existence by Congress authoring a bill to regulate commerce, debating that bill, amending that bill to accommodate the various state interests and the interests of the people of the United States, and then sending that Bill to the president for his signature or veto. This is how our representative system of government works. Fast Track Trade Authority allows the president to usurp Congress' legislative powers in creating a bill to regulate commerce, and leaves Congress with the President's veto power. And this my friend is not authorized by our written Constitution. Keep in mind that all legislative powers are vested in a Congress of the United States.

Additionally, all bills for raising revenue are to originate in the House of Representatives. Therefore, any trade rules made which affect imposts and duties on imports from foreign nations, which is what the Pacific Rim deal does, must originate in the House of Representatives and not in the Oval Office.

Fast Track Trade Authority is a blatant attack upon our representative system of government, allows the president to usurp Congress' exclusive power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and violates the separation of powers which our founders wrote into our Constitution!

Do you support this attack upon our constitutionally limited system of government?

JWK

"The Constitution is the act of the people, speaking in their original character, and defining the permanent conditions of the social alliance; and there can be no doubt on the point with us, that every act of the legislative power contrary to the true intent and meaning of the Constitution, is absolutely null and void. ___ Chancellor James Kent, in his Commentaries on American Law (1858)

The Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality of executive agreements in 1937.

The Supremes ruled that a sawed off shotgun was not a militia weapon, despite the fact that the army used them as "trench guns". The Supremes ruled that homobamacare was Constitutional as a "tax".

You can either be a Conservative, or you can keep saying the things you do to excuse the shredding of our Constitution.

Actually, Trump would tell the folks down there WE'LL build the GD wall and you folks in Mexico will pay for our labor and material.
