Republicans already won passage of legislation weakening one
provision of the Dodd-Frank law, over Warren’s opposition, by attaching
the measure to a spending bill that avoided a government shutdown last
year.
“Legal experts agree that fast track creates a procedural loophole
that could be used to push major legislative changes to Dodd Frank
through Congress as part of that upcoming deal,” Warren said in an
e-mailed statement. “This president supports financial reform, but he
has still not explained how he -- or anyone else -- can stop the next
president from caving to the big banks in the next trade deal.”
