Never give obama and the democrats an inch. They will take and destroy the country if they have that opportunity.
If you carefully read the particulars of the article, you’ll see that TPA does the opposite of giving Obama power. I like that it mandates the 60 day public disclosure before a vote can take place. It also requires that Congress be involved throughout the negotiations and sets restrictions on what the President can and can’t do. Any breach of the set parameters of negotiations renders the agreement null and void.
The vote for TPP will not be held in all likelihood before late 2016, and with so many up for re election it will be defeated. Never have we had this much distrust of a President and the scrutiny that this agreement will receive will be unprecedented.
The bonus of passing TPA will be that the next President will have it for almost 5 years. The Dems won’t let that happen if they take back the Senate.
