This is EXACTLY why the Founders wanted trade deals to be difficult to ratify....because large interests can manipulate events to their advantage.

Now, we get lousy deals with up/down simple majority votes.

Anyone who honors the constitution knows this is wrong.

TPA is to trade deals what the nuclear option is to executive nominees.

Exactly what part of the Constitution precludes Congress establishing up/down simple majority votes?
