:: TPP — a 12-state economic agreement ::
Ummmm, isn’t that a violation of the interstate trade clause in the Constitution?
Such trade is not reserved for a “conventicle” of States, rather, the federal government must regulate the activity throughout all (50? / 57?) states.
The economic benefits of the actual trade pact might be real - but the secrecy is clearly hiding something very poisonous. They appear to be serving us a plate full of dirt from the garden with whipped cream on top and talking about nothing but how sweet it is.
Just hand us a properly-labeled can of Reddi-Whip so we can see for ourselves. :)
Lower-case “state” means a country. Upper-case “State” means a region/province.
