FYI, Obama Can do NO SUCH THING, Without the Consent and Full Cooperation of the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE Paul Ryan and SENATE MAJORITY LEADER McConnell.

It will be PAUL RYAN THAT DOES IT, NOT OBAMA.

He doesn't have to ram anything.

The Republicans are BEGGING for it.

Key phrase:

“Under the scheme, unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies will usurp massive powers over formerly independent nations.”

One of the primary features of a dictatorship is unelected bureaucrats writing law. They are unelected and can’t be removed via the ballot box. The only way to correct this feature is dragging these fascist bureaucrats into the streets and hanging them from lampposts. Obuma is no different than Hitler or Stalin.

It was when cruz supported this thing that I began to reassess my support of him.

It just did not fit the narrative that we had accepted about the man.

And, of course, it was all downhill after that.

Paul Ryan will be happy to repay his loyal voters with betrayal again.

"It requires 2/3’s of the Senate to be ratified."

No, that's what the vote on fast track authority was all about. Thanks in part to Ted Cruz who claimed fast track was a wonderful thing, it only requires a simple majority with the VP on hand to break a tie.

I didn't realize that, thanks. I hope a senator like Rand Paul objects when they ask for unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of the bill and the clerk reads every one of the 2000 plus pages to the American people.
