Sessions Warns TPA Would Create ‘Pacific Union’ Akin to European Union
Breitbart ^ | June 10th, 2015 | by Jeff Poor

Posted on 06/10/2015 4:48:11 PM PDT by Mariner

In a joint appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Wednesday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)

and Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) warned against the passage of the so-called Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) currently being considered by the Congress.

Sessions argued it was more than just a framework for a process for the president of the United States to use in negotiating trade agreements, but instead was creating an economic union with wide-ranging powers.

“I’ve been there three times and I can tell you it is far more than a trade agreement,” he said. “It is a creating of an economic union. The congressional resource said it is a wide-ranging political and economic partnership that is created where the Sultan of Brunei gets one vote. The president of the United States gets one vote. Twelve countries – they have the ability to add other treaties and pass them. They have the ability to deal with climate issues, wage issues and environmental issues. There’s just no doubt about that.”

Okay, Cruz. Denounce it. Come on. Admit the mistake. Apologize. Fix it. I’m on Team Cruz. Don’t give 0bama a blank check of any kind. He’ll only use it to destroy America.

Anyone know who makes those "Angry Hitler" skits?

We need one where he finds out Republicans couldn't even get a trade deal passed with the help of Obama!

Jeff Sessions is a great American and so is Duncan Hunter. God save us from these 40 something’s running for President. They are clueless.

We need a mature adult in the whitehouse in 2017 and I’m talking about over 60.

Yes!

If Cruz wishes to acknowledge his mistake, then he should say it was wrong and urge the House to go it down.

I’m torn, on this, between Sen Sessions’ take vs Sen Cruz’. Both can’t be right.

(And, yes, I’ve read Cruz’ Op-Ed w/Lyin” Ryan, Hostage’s post(s) and I’ve listened to the Kuhner/Cruz youtube.)

Sen Sessions is a patriot...and, he’s not backing off of his clear opposition to this.

This needs to not happen.

How could Cruz have voted for it?

Good for Sessions.

With the recent leaks of the TiSA that is in this putrid piece of ‘legislation’ it would be TREASONOUS to vote for it.

Thanks a bunch for nothing Mitch
