When you watch your own Senator (Wyden) complain because he was left out of the decision process it gives you a little hope. That's a good thing right?

To avoid any misunderstandings he quickly explains how he'll rush the agreement through even though he has no idea what's in it due to the secrecy he was previously complaining about.

It's really special to see your leaders kowtow for corporate interests and make no apology about it whatsoever.
