> Nothing in the agreement forces Congress to change any law. TPA explicitly provides that nothing in any trade agreement can change U.S. law.

The World Trade Organization rejected a U.S. appeal last month, ruling the labels that say where animals were born, raised and slaughtered are discriminatory against the two U.S. border countries. - http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3299168/posts

These agreements just nullify our laws.

Technically, yes. Can’t change existing US law, supposedly.

It does not, however, keep Obama from tacking on stupid liberal tricks like banning ammunition or weapons importation from other countries or any other stupid liberal quirky taints. Why? because he pretty much has that power anyway, but he has to do that on his own executive accord and take the heat for it. Additionally, these actions can be undone by the next President.

Via a TPA sanctioned trade pact, and it becomes law and cannot be undone - and the Congress takes the heat for it.

ObamaTrade? It’s just another way to spell T-U-R-D.

Yep. Saying that the TPP doesn't do that is a bold lie the Cruz campaign is selling.
