Liz Warren plays political games too

149. Those are your words, yeah?

Not mine. I've never said any remoting resembling your remarks, and neither have I read anything here from anyone else who made a wisecrack like that.

Warren states, “We can’t make this deal public because if the American people saw what was in it, they would be opposed to it.”

That not true. As many others have already explained to you, we can't see it because it isn't even public yet. Unless she's claiming psychic abilities, Warren has no way to know how it will turn out. Many of your earlier fears have been addressed in the new Wyden-Hatch-Ryan deal which predates Warren's remark, but she opted to go there anyway. That bit of shallow deceit is very troubling to me.



"The fast track bill - formally known as Trade Promotion Authority - calls for an up-or-down vote in Congress on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and other future trade deals. Both sides agree that this fast-track authority, which prohibits attempts to amend a trade pact, is crucial to determining whether Asian trade deal comes to fruition.

The Wyden-Hatch-Ryan deal includes these provisions:

--The final wording of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has to be made public at least 60 days before Obama signs any agreement. Congressional action likely would take another two months, which Wyden said gives the public and lawmakers plenty of time to understand and debate the provisions in the trade pact, which is still under final negotiations."
