The TPA requires the opposite of secret. That bill requires a publishing of the Trade agreements for 60 days before they can come up for vote. Among other things, a good reason to support TPA.

Yes, after lowering the number of votes needed for passage. By then it’s too late and that is why it is done that way. I still support Cruz but making the TPA about Cruz only hurts him. This free trde agreement isn’t just about trade and it’s sure not about freedom.

And you actually believe that Obama, McConnell, and Boehner will honor that?

Delusional.

It takes 60 votes to kill it unlike a treaty where 67 votes are needed to pass it. Big difference. It stands the Constitution on its head just like Obamacare did when it came to Congress overruling the Death Panel.

There is no good reason to support any of this.
