"How is that a total circumvention of the Constitution when Congress still has the ability to vote it down according to that bill?"

Well, mister Republican, are you aware that Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2 of the US Constitution requires a 2/3's Majority consent of the Senate for any International Treaty, but with Fast Track only 51 votes are required to ratify any agreement POTUS submits?

Are you, mister smart Republican?

So? Then if your understanding of the Constitution as it applies to this bill is correct, it should be as simple as filing a lawsuit to have it overturned on constitutional grounds alone, right?
