This represents a major new step in the secession of major corporations from the United States, its constitution, its laws and its culture.
CNN - President Barack Obama's trade agenda scored a major victory today when the Senate voted to advance a bill to allow "fast-track" approval of large international trade bills. The outcome of this key procedural vote had been in doubt as a group of 14 pro-trade Democrats weighed whether to continue their support of the bill out of concern that a related workers' assistance package might not pass both chambers. But after repeated assurances by GOP congressional leaders that the workers' assistance measure will be adopted, 13 out of 14 backed the bill. The vote was 60 to 37, the minimum needed to pass.
Here are the Democratic senators who voted against their country on this:
Michael Bennet (D-CO)
Maria Cantwell (D-WA)
Tom Carper (D-DE)
Chris Coons (D-DE)
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)
Tim Kaine (D-VA)
Claire McCaskill (D-MO)
Patty Murray (D-WA)
Bill Nelson (D-FL)
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
Mark Warner (D-VA)
RON WYDEN (D-OR)

It's complicated, because the homeland is not identified as America. America is a global military -financial structure which is more benign with the homeland population than with, say Greeks. Obama was hired to enforce austerity, but the homeland does benefit from its protected status. That the legal system will not protect the nation is nothing new. See FDR's fireside chat 3-9-37.
When the USA can't borrow money anymore everything will dramatically change fairly quickly. When that will happen? It can be many years to decades but not forever...
