"Another excellent piece LL I had just read her W Post interview when I read you: Sen. Warrens main gripe is that the public isnt seeing the bill. Oddly, as this interview with Greg Sargent illustrates, she keeps moving the goal posts. She, of course, can see the negotiating text in full. It then becomes: Fast track wont allow Congress to make changes to the deal.
Exactly what I picked up from the interview.
PLUM LINE: But dont you get 60 days to review it after the deal is finalized, with the authority to revoke fast track?
WARREN: The president has committed only to letting the public see this deal after Congress votes to authorize fast track.
She completely ignores Sargents point, that she can see the complete text. She has been abysmal on this."
