(885 posts)Every Democrat in congress could vote no now and it would still pass with full Republican support. That's what fast track was for. It gives the Democrats an out on it passing. Only enough Democrats had to switch to pass the fast track (had they needed more, more Democrats would have voted for fast track).
This is the perfect time to pass pro-corporation legislation. Republicans hold both houses of congress and there's a corporate backed Democrat who is at term limit as president (so there's "no one" to direct the actual blame at).
It's all one big game and we're not invited.
Seriously does anyone really think the Republicans would have voted to give Obama (who they claim to despise on all ways) fast track authority if the fix wasn't in on this?
