re: #357 Obdicut (Now with 2% less brain)

I’m confused because you seem to think they voted on fast tracking, but they didn’t.

They voted on a measure relevant to the TPP. That’s all that matters for my argument,

They had the opportunity, had they voted on this issue, to vote on fast-tracking, and reject it, but they didn’t do that.

From this and from #345 it seems you have missed the wholly theoretical character of the discussion. It has nothing to do with how they actually voted and what their real motivations were. The point under discussion is whether voting in such a way that doesn’t help the easy passage of TPP because of the deliberately limited access to the info about TPP is justified, given the particular legal realities in the US.
