Any Congresscritter who votes for this with its provisions for yielding American sovereignty to tribunals that are specifically designed to overrule the national court systems is guilty of treason IMHO.
We can certainly project that such “tribunals” would quickly become dominated by anti-American leftists interested less in justice than in inflicting as much damage on America and Americans as they can get away with.
How could ANY US Congressman agree to this *secret* “trade” agreement, in good conscience?

Honestly, Paul Ryan has always creeped me out a little. He’s behind so much of this in the house. It’s more about his ego than what’s right.
Even Joe Biden made him look like a silly school girl in the debate. “Bean” What a clown.
A bill so good we’re not allowed to know what’s in it.
It would be good if posters here at FR would read this before commenting.
Remember this is Wikileaks. He who hates corporations.
Here he is complaining that TPP is an advantage to corporations who have been harmed by states (countries).
In THIS complaint it is NOT the UN imposing on companies.

Remember, your boy Teddy Cruz voted for this pile of manure.

Similar mechanisms have already been used. For example, ... by the oil giant Chevron against Ecuador in an attempt to evade a multi-billion-dollar compensation ruling for polluting the environment.
It has been comprehensively proven, in US courts, that this lawsuit in Ecuadorean courts was the result of a criminal conspiracy between corrupt Ecuadorean officials and courts, international enviro groups and corrupt US law firms.
The extent to which Chevron is responsible for pollution of Ecadorean forests is undetermined at this time. Chevron may very well be lying, but then so are their opponents.
