Ridiculous Drudge headline. Ryan is saying that the text will be released when the negotiations with the other 11 countries are concluded. Congress, and the public, will then have at least 60 days to review and debate before the vote.

What is the consequence if they do not make it public for 60 days? Answer: none

Remember when the Democrats, then the Republicans promised to post all bills on the internet for 5 days before debating/voting?

This is as worthless a promise as that.....and you are falling for it, just as they hope.

Well, I can't say for sure what the consequences would be but unlike the other promise you referenced this would be a blatant violation of the law (assuming they pass TPA). The TPA legislates a period between publication of the text and the vote. If we've become that lawless than none of this other stuff matters anyway.

There are links to a summary and full text of the TPA here: Senate Finance Committee
