The Republicrats want that voting threshold at 51. Easier to betray the American people.
You are correct -- except that the number is only 50 since the Vice President can break any tie. TPA stacks the deck for later passage of whatever trade agreement a president wants passed. No filibuster, no amendments and only 50 votes required. This was a sellout to the corporate fascists who control the Republican Party, and it is time to recognize them for what they are.
