Senate Democrats block fast track on TPP.
Probably just a ploy to appease their constituents temporarily.
Senate Democrats likely doing this as a bargaining chip with
the Republicans. Obama and the Republicans want fast-track
with no ability for Congress to amend the pact, which involves
over 40% of the world's economy. Senate Democrats gang up to delay fast-track trade bill | Reuters
The failure to garner the necessary votes came after pro-trade Democrats, including Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, insisted that fast track be bundled together with three other trade bills, including one that would impose import duties on countries that manipulate their currencies for unfair trade advantage.

Yeup, sliding down that hill to mediocrity as a Nation faster and faster.
I'm glad it's been beaten but unfortunately I don't think the powerful interests behind this agreement will let it just die. They won't stop until American workers are completely screwed over.
Rand Paul voted for Fast Track. Shame on you Senator Paul, shame on you.
