U.S. Rep. Zack Space, D-Dover, has waged a war against free-trade deals, blaming them for the mass exodus of Ohio jobs in recent years.

On Wednesday, Space took his campaign to the next level, submitting legislation that even he acknowledged as extreme. Before any new trade deal passes, Space said, there should be a national, up-or-down referendum.

Daniel Chow, a law professor at Ohio State University, laughed when he heard Space’s proposal.
