The TPP has not come up for vote yet. It probably won’t until late 2016.
What was voted on was TPA. That bill requires that any trade agreement must be made public before it comes up for vote for 60 days. It also assures more Congressional involvement during the negotiations and places greater restrictions on the President and greater accountability.
There has been a concerted effort to distort and confuse TPA by lumping it in with TPP. I studied TPA in depth by going back and comparing the 2002 TPA bill with the 2014 -2015 versions. Without TPA, we don’t get to view trade agreements before they are voted on. TPA is to our advantage for transparency and because it limits what the Presient can do and expands Congresses role.
The version coming out of the House also contains the Cruz/Sessions language on immigration and reaffirms our sovereignty will in no way be compromised.

I meant TPA <banging head on wall for the 3rd time. Yeah I think the Alinskytes are working hard to distort and confuse the issue...
