re: #336 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Yes, really. Explain to me how you think the details of an incomplete treaty are any of Congress’ business until it’s completed.

Already have, above. For better or for worse they do have to make decisions relevant to the treaty at this stage, such as whether to fast track it. You’re free to argue that it’s a flaw in the system. But since they do have to make them, they’re entitled to information. Saying that they would leak etc. really misses the point. Maybe they would, and it would be bad, so that’s the flaw in the system. So the system has to be changed, good. But s the system is as it is, they still should be able to make informed decisions.
