Does Congress possess the Constitutional authority to surrender it’s Constitutional powers? I think not.
For those wondering who voted in favor of this demonic bill, I give my FRiends the list. I have a friend who emailed Senator Ted Cruzs Chief of Staff Paul Teller about Ted Cruzs vote. I hope he gets a timely answer.

Good to hear I actually agree with Paul about something!
So Sessions and Paul voted for it then...
Zero told (D’s) that this deal was “a personal thing”
And the (D’s) in turn shafted him. Just like the one the USA received in the last 6 years. They may be distancing themselves preparatory to 2016
I'm sure an explanation will be forthcoming from Senator Cruz. He's not part of the GOPe and, thus, is always transparent and above board. As for this vote, it was most assuredly NOT in support of hussein or his illegal regime. Cruz is a man of substance with access to a lot of data that made his Yea vote one of principle -- challenging Warren, the commie.
According to jonrick’s list, Session, Paul, Cruz, Vitter, all voted for while all Democrats except Carper voted against. I think this was a strategic vote on the part of conservative Senators. They knew the Democrats were going to stall the bill. Sessions is adamantly opposed. The article is referring to a future vote on the final bill.
Paul says he’s a no.
Pretty sure Sessions will be, too.
Will Cruz?
Hope so...
I hope this is strategery. I will find out when my friend gets a response from his friend Paul Teller.
Thanks :)
What is Paul Teller up to now since Scalise forced him out of the republican Study Committee?
Paul Teller is Senator Ted Cruzs Chief of Staff.
Sen. Cruz: Congress Must Prohibit Obama From Abusing TPA to Change Immigration Law
I figured it would take some time for the Cruz staff to wade through the mountains of legalese in this incredibly complicated and multi-part legislation to find the parts with the greatest potential to be abused through Obama's treachery.
The big question now is whether McConnell will allow the Senate to consider this amendment and others that surely will follow from Cruz and other conservatives.
I am embarrassed by my man Cruz’ vote to SUPPORT Maobama on this issue. Bob
There’s nothing wrong with the abacus. It worked very well from 2700 -2300 B.C. and is still in use today.
This TPP or TPA bill is the worst bill ever:
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 Obamas immigration agenda. House members who were ready to defund the Department of Homeland Security to stop President Obamas 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.
Your list contradicts the story. Are you sure it’s correct?
What a fickin snake
Sen Cruz voted for cloture too which will allow this Amnesty bill to get ram thru with a simple majority.
So did Sessions and Cotton too.
These people are traitors .
