On Trade

Robin Toner, in today's NY Times article, talking about the conflict on trade policy:

The main Democratic demand, at the moment, is that new trade agreements require countries to meet international labor standards on issues like child labor and the right of workers to organize, a provision fervently backed by the Democrats’ longtime ally, organized labor. Officials say the latest sticking point is whether such provisions would make labor laws in the United States vulnerable to legal challenge, a concern raised by the administration and its allies, who want some insurance against that possibility.

Don't look to the GOP for any glimmer of fairness on anything. Every speck of decency has to be beaten out of them.
