Chris Dodd: “We thank you, and Senator Cardin, thank you very much for coming by this morning.”

I had hoped we'd get in the lame duck session to the ratification of the Colombian Free Trade Agreement and the Panamanian Free Trade Agreement.

I frankly don't see the sovereignty issue as playing a role as an impediment as much as the sheer ability of the cartels to corrupt.

President Clinton, to his eternal credit in my view, just does not quit on this issue.

It's far more complicated than a common language.
