Post #15 is very clear and easy to read. More importantly, it lends illumination to an issue that has been surrounded by misinformation.
Time for some clarity on TPA/TPP. They are not the same thing.
They are the same in that a vote for TPA enables Obamatrade/TPP. Thanks to fine conservatives like Gowdy and Cruz, the passage of TPP (Top Secret) is now guaranteed in the Senate with only 51 votes required to pass it.
It's madness to give up that 66% approval threshold in the Senate for a simple up or down vote that requires only 50% voting yes. this means Obama and 3rd world Muslim dictators can in secret negotiate a USA destroying treaty or “trade” agreement and then bring that up to the congress for a simple up or down vote . that is madness and I will never support that. And i heard also it gives up debate, and amendments which are all part of the process which opposition to an awful "trade" (immigration ) treaty could be stopped.
this fast track basically makes most of these treaties unstoppable in the congress. it's much easier to pass and Obama mandate with only 50% up or down vote with no amendments allowed. this is why they call it fast track or trade promotion authority it's to make it easy for Obama to pass treaties that override USA laws. If a senator sessions would be allowed to add an amendment then debate would go on and it would be stopped maybe because of the amendment. this is the destruction of America . period. It's simple really: Obama cannot be given more power
