How @#$%ing Stupid Are We?

80. We do know some of what's happening. We know eg, that Congress has been denied

access to information on those negotiations. Since when is Congress not allowed to know what is being negotiated on behalf of the people THEY represent? And even worse, since when has that been okay with Democrats?

We also have seen some of what is being 'negotiated' thanks to leaks by Wikileaks and it appears considering what we DO know so far, there has not been enough drama, as you call it, unless of course we Liberals have suddenly decided that the Environment is no longer important and that the Reps we elect have no right to know what is going on with legislation that will effect the lives of those who elected them.

The cause of the drama, as you call it, is the very fact that not only do WE not know what is in it, our Reps in Congress have been denied access to the information. Congress, I think we can agree, has a RIGHT to be a part of negotiations like this.

Elizabeth Warren eg, certainly seems to think so. So I'll take her assessment on whether or not Manny is being dramatic or justifiably concerned.
