#1 I thought the Democrats were all for international cooperation and "warm and fuzzy" talk. Do you mean that a "powerful Senator (Democrat)" pushed through legislation that was unilateral? Oh, I forgot, National Security is subject to international tests; trade is unilateral (note opposition to NAFTA).

#2 The only reason Senator Kleagle probably sponsored it was that they named it after him. Probably had no clue what it meant or what it did.

#3 International trade agreements are not something I keep up with, but I suspect there is more to this than the surface issue. The last round of WTO failed completely and there is little prospect of further trade liberalisation under WTO. It looks to me like WTO has served its purpose and is now surplus to requirements. So it is trying to justify its further existence and of course playing to the multilateralist gallery.
