Why does a legislator submit to security restrictions imposed by someone else? A legislator’s first function is passing laws. Any security restrictions should be under the authority of the Congress.

The Republican Party is nothing but disgusting filth.

The Democrat Party is nothing but disgusting filth.

BUt until we kill the GOP, we don't stand a chance against the Commie Dems.

First, the GOP must die. Everything else comes after that.

Yes the TPP is basically Obama giving power over the USA to 3rd world dictators to do to the USA what they wish, including flood the USA with immigrants , ban our guns etc.

Her staffers needed security clearances to accompany the Senator when she went to "look" at this bill.

Why would a trade bill be protected with a level of security reserved for the military?

“Why does a legislator submit to security restrictions imposed by someone else? A legislator’s first function is passing laws. Any security restrictions should be under the authority of the Congress.”

That truly is an excellent question! Who the hell is writing a bill that our United States Senators are being treated like spies from another country? This is extremely telling, and bodes very badly for the nation.

Yes UN gun restrictions on Americans and also unrestricted immigration into the USA.Worst bill ever imo:

The controversial TPP, of course, is disguised as a treaty to promote “free trade” — more properly described as managed or corporatist trade — among nations surrounding the Pacific. However, the TPP agreement, currently being negotiated behind closed doors by governments, dictatorships, and special interests, includes some major surprises. As The New American reported recently, a leaked chapter of the TPP deal would create NAFTA-style international “tribunals” with the purported authority to override American laws, courts, and even the U.S. and state constitutions — all for the benefit of special interests, foreigners, and crony capitalists. The American people and self-government would be the big losers.

Another chapter of the agreement making headlines this week, meanwhile, purports to regulate immigration policies among TPP signatories. “The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration,” observed Curtis Ellis, executive director of the American Jobs Alliance, in a post for The Hill. “It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda. House members who were ready to defund the Department of Homeland Security to stop President Obama’s executive action on immigration must not give him TPA, which he will use to ensure his immigration actions are locked in when he leaves office.”

“restrictions on Americans and also unrestricted immigration into the USA.Worst bill ever imo...”

It MUST be one of the worst bills ever! When even the GOP used Pelosi’s “we need to pass the bill to...” to ridicule the her and the dems, and now they too are doing the exact same thing, there MUST be some horrible consequences in passing this bill. On the same note, perhaps all these RINO’s are fearful of consequences that we don’t know about, from some unseen threat, if they dont pass it. Why else all the secrecy??? Who is putting them up to this? China calling in on all the debt we owe them?

This TPP is the final nail in the coffin of America, proof:

Obama taking over the Internet is also a final nail in case the other one doesn’t finish us off first.

Obama and the FCC will shut down Drudge and freerepublic, and the Internet. I can’t believe even on this site people don’t seem to know or care what Obama is going to do to the Internet:

“FCC Commissioner: Feds May Come for Drudge [Isaiah 29]”

“(Soros strikes again!)FCC Cites Soros-Funded Marxist Group 46 Times in Regs (internet takeover) “

I’m proud of my Senator for once. Someone go check the temperature in Hell and tell me if it’s reached the freezing point.
