"just like [obama's supreme court nominee] merrick garland is never going to get a confirmation hearing, tpp is never going to get an implementing bill," said scott miller, a trade policy specialist at the center for strategic and international studies. alan wolf, senior counsel at dentons and chairman of the national foreign trade council, shared that assessment. "nothing that has the label tpp <u+2014> or in the near term, the content of tpp <u+2014> will be put into place by the u.s.," wolf said. "the coffin is nearly closed on tpp," nate olson, director of the trade21 project at the stimson center, agreed. "there's no viable action in the lame duck" given the results of tuesday's election. by bill scher by joshua zeitz by thomas wright by jack shafer
