With the first votes on the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track TPP just days away, its looking like Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)54% expects Americans to accept former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA)7% Obamacare logic for the trade deal: you have to pass it to find out whats in it.
If you want to hear the details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal the Obama administration is hoping to pass, youve got to be a member of Congress, and youve got to go to classified briefings and leave your staff and cellphone at the door, Politicos Edward-Isaac Dovere wrote earlier this week. If youre a member who wants to read the text, youve got to go to a room in the basement of the Capitol Visitor Center and be handed it one section at a time, watched over as you read, and forced to hand over any notes you make before leaving. And no matter what, you cant discuss the details of what youve read.

To heck with this.
Bring back jobs, to America.
Stop selling out our own country.
Both parties. Someone stand up for America.
Laws made in secret?
Do they really think my ancestors went up against the Redcoats for this?
Well, looking like Gods not even gonna bother to sort em out this time.
If Obama wrote it ,it must be a hell of a mess
If there’s one feature that characterizes both parties’ Cngressional delegations, House and Senate, it is their intellectual laziness. Few there can be bothered to look past the insipid titles that bills are given these days. Want to pass a draconian limitation on liberty? Call it the Milk and Cookies Happiness Restoration Act and you’ll get near unanimous bipartisan support. Then they’ll all express surprise that the lagislation mandates extermination camps - “What!? We didn’t read it!”
Every time we sign a trade deal, our trade deficit goes up. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.
I said it must be Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions. So when I pulled up the pics Mr. GG2 was amazed. LOL! Funny but sad there are so few who would read a bill that you can name them on the fingers of one hand.
Evidently there are very strict measures to be obeyed if one wants to even be able to read the document. Here is a thread concerning the anti-gun measures in the agreement:
“Secret Deal Could Contain a Myriad of Gun Restrictions, Ammo Bans”

Oops! Sorry, meant to reply to the first post....
When laws are (unconstitutionally) made in secret, we all get spied on — we get our doctors term away from us and our health expenses tripled, and now we will lose even more of our jobs and economic opportunities. . But Starr chamber secret laws are just fine with our sold-out rino congress. A bunch of damned judases.
The "Road to Nowhere" is being perpetuated by those that are on it.
"If things don't change they'll stay the same!"
If you have to keep it secret from the American people, rest assured it is not good for the American people, just like Obamacare. “You have to pass it to see what is in it.”
Gotta love transparency!
Weirdos. Reading bills is soooo last century.
So we have to eat sh1t before we can find out what’s in it.
