The bylaws of the WTO supersede our own Constitution, which is a contradiction to the stated premise of the Constitution to be the “supreme law of the land.” Member nations must adhere to WTO policies without any legislative process in their own countries. Local policies aimed at rewarding companies who hire local residents, use domestic materials, or adopt environmentally sound practices are essentially illegal under the WTO.
Also, the WTO is indifferent to workers' rights, child labor and environmental protection. For
example, many corporations are assaulting environmental regulations as “barriers to trade” in order to force member nations to change their laws. The WTO considers such matters not worthy of deeper consideration.
This is a system which is designed to deindustrialize the United States, ship our jobs overseas and substantially lower our standard of living. By August 2007, the United States had been a defendant in 47 cases, and had lost 40 of them, requiring changes to laws to allow such things as Internet gambling and environmentally unfriendly fishing standards.
