Some were surprised that Congressman Tom McClintock came out in favor of this deal. He had a heated exchange with Laura Ingraham this morning and said repeatedly that Congress and the public would have the 60 days to review the agreement before Congress voted. He became very heated in insisting that was the case.
Well. either McClintock or Warren is wrong on this one. Based on Obama's past behavior, Warren might be right. But there are definitely opposing understandings out there about the 60 day review period.
But, actually, it would seem that Congress should be in the driver's seat on allowing the 60 days review before the congressional vote. And we would have the fearless Boner and McConnell making that decision.
Warren and McClintock might be in agreement after all, at least on when the 60 day review would be allowed.
Warren says that Obama will only allow the agreement to be reviewed publicly after fast track authority is passed, and that is something she objects to strongly.
McClintock says the same thing, but acts as if it is a fair opportunity for the public and Congress to review the TPP after Obama is given fast track authority.
Have to go with Warren on this one.
