Fast Track has nothing to do with free trade and everything to do with lack of oversight. It lets the president sign whatever he wants and don’t worry about if it’s a good idea and deserves approval. And no I DO NOT want “our President” to have that ability because if he’s worth a crap he’ll only sign trade agreements that deserve approval.
I can’t believe Ted Cruz would vote for such thing.
Now it’s wait and see how he votes on the actual bill. I hope he and Sessions know something we don’t.

Key words FTA: As Buck said, recounting a conversation he had with a constituent, “If the president won’t abide by the Constitution, what gives you any confidence that he’ll abide by TPA?”
Obama has a pen, a phone, and a GOP ‘leadership’ ready and willing to give him whatever he desires.
So much for the election and its supposed repudiation of his policies. That was a nice dream.
