Yes Chapter 11. The one that the legislators now wring their hands over the effect of unintentional provisoes. Companies that bring forth suits are not even heard in court but in closed proceedings not open to the public.

No use blaming Republicans or Democrats on this gaff back in '92. They were both for it!

Given that when I occasionally tune into CSPAN to watch a vote being taken in a half-empty chamber, I doubt that the nimrods who voted for NAFTA even read the provisions, much less understood them. Another shining example of a successful lobbying effort.

Damn, and I came here to get away from these types of discussions on other Boards.
