Alan Grayson: "The fast track to Hell" ties the hands of the U.S. Congress and prevents Congress from reviewing the TPP.
Each member of Congress - including "Yours Truly" - Each member of Congress gets Eighty-Eight seconds - Eighty-Eight seconds to debate whatever trade agreements the President presents to us.
~ Alan Grayson
The Fast Track legislation that the Trade Representative is putting out...does some interesting things.
First of all it prevents any amendments by any sub-committee or any committee in Congress.
Secondly: It prevents any hearings. You're not allowed to have any hearings in any committee or sub-committee.
Third: You're not allowed to have any changes to the bill even when it's on the Floor - Ok - the floor of the Senate - the floor of the House.
Fourth: You're not allowed to have any filibusters.
Fifth: It gives us this much opportunity to debate: Each member of Congress - including "Yours Truly" - Each member of Congress gets Eighty-Eight seconds - Eighty-Eight seconds to debate whatever trade agreements the President presents to us.
