I asked him that question on his Facebook page, and a couple of his staff members responded (sadly) with the usual GOP-E talking points about how TPA would give Congress the "authority" to accept or reject anything Obama negotiates, which we all know is bunk.

If the Senate is supposed to vote on any trade treaty negotiated by the President, how is this bunk?

I guess you missed Hatch's little trick that he wrote into the bill requiring 60 votes to reject a "fast-track" treaty, which will never happen.
