Sorry Ted, no trade deal has ever been amended or rejected once a TPA has been passed. The track record speaks. Keep it up and you are done too. Walker capped it for me yesterday, he’s done.

That's what I understand to be the facts as well. I made the same point in a post yesterday. I was trying to think of a single "trade agreement" that has been voted down, and can't.

I also believe that calling it an "agreement" rather than a "treaty" is merely an end-run around the constitutional requirement of higher vote percentages for treaties.

That is dishonest, and needs to be spoken to.
