All FTAs trump national regulatory laws. In this respect, TPP is no different from NAFTA, CAFTA, Chile, Panama, Columbia, Korea, or Israel.

Regulatory disputes in FTAs are resolved by the Arbitration Panels and a national judiciary is required to honor the Panel's ruling.

Remember the disputes from NAFTA? Metalclad, Methenex, Canadian Softwoods, Mexican Trucks.

If they exhibit an anti-American bent, I would withdraw from the agreement.

In the meantime, follow the Constitution.
