Levin: ‘Destroy-the-Constitution’ TPP Deal Would Allow Obama ‘Take Us to Fast Track to Hell’
Breitbart ^ | 11/09/15 | Tony Lee

Posted on 11/09/2015 9:32:03 AM PST by Enlightened1

Conservative talk radio host and scholar Mark Levin says no conservative in Congress should vote for the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, which he referred to as a “destroy-the-Constitution deal” that would enable President Barack Obama to take “us to the fast track to hell.”

Speaking to host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, Levin said that even people “who are required to comply with it are not going to comprehend” the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which is 6,000 pages long, 2 million words, long, and 30 chapters.

“No conservative—none—in the Senate or the House should vote for this based on the nature of this phony deal,” he said. “It’s too long. It’s too massive. It empowers the government. It empowers the bureaucracy… It empowers other governments and bureaucracies too.”

Levin blasted the agreement, saying “this is not a trade deal. This is a destroy-the-Constitution deal.”

Regarding the treaty clause, Levin said that even though the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court refused to take the case involving NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), “that doesn’t mean the Senate should lie down for this crap.”

He said “what the Senate should say is, ‘we say it’s a treaty… we made a terrible mistake with this phony fast track stuff.’”

“You never give Obama fast track,” Levin declared. “Because what does he do? He takes us to the fast track to hell.”

He said lawmakers in Congress should just admit that “our constituency can’t possibly know what’s in it. The Constitution does not grant this kind of power to foreign governments and our government, so I’m voting no, period.”

He is right on. I can’t believe Ben Carson is among those who support this thing.

There is NO support - zip, zero, nada - for the TPP among voters. Liberals hate it because it will destroy the working class (unions, that is). Conservatives hate it because it will destroy personal freedoms.

Everyone hates it. Yet it will most probably pass. Interesting, eh?

Trump and Cruz (switched after voting for the TPA (aka fast track)) are the only 2 candidates that are openly campaigning against it.

Trump/Cruz 2016

He is spot on ... but it will pass. THIS is what the PTBs want so they will get it. All the other crap they argue about and posture on is a distraction. That horrid Iran deal ain’t got nothing on this.

While I tire of the “this is the end of the Republic” BS about every little thing ... TPP falls in that category. This passes and that is truly it. I don’t care who wins or loses next year, this Treaty ends America. Everything else will just be Bread and Circuses.

We already are on the fast track to hell and not just because of 0bama’s policies.

This nation has turned it’s back on God who has blessed this very nation. Under 0bama, this nation is and enemy to Israel. Ovr 40 million babies have been killed in the womb since 1973. This nation embraces and celebrates the homosexual/bisexual/transgender culture and allows them to be married. Fewer people identify themselves as Christians. Idol worship is rampant as your young people worship sexualized pop stars, violent hip-hoppers, the Kardashians and 0bama himself.

This nation is on a fast track to hell because of it has turned it’s back on God and celebrates sin.

"He is right on. I can’t believe Ben Carson is among those who support this thing."

What about those who ascertained it's passage with TPA? That was the core error.
