“I (gently) challenge anyone to provide a “written quote” evidence where Ted Cruz says he will vote for a secret TPP agreement ... “
No, Ted is supporting the TPA which cedes the treaty authority of Congress to Obama and makes the passage of the TPP inevitable. Cruz can vote against the actual TPP and claim he’s against it, this won’t matter after TPA is enacted. This is the exact same scam Cruz exposed with the Obamacare cloture issue.
If you want to tell me that the TPP is not a treaty but rather a benevolent trade pact that will benefit American workers then let me read the damn thing.
Now that's a problem right there. The TPP is an agreement between nations. It is a treaty, period. And so it requires a 2/3 majority in the Senate for passage.
The folks who try to push it as a trade pact, or an agreement, or a whatever are doing an end run around the Constitution. It really bothers me that Cruz and the rest of them are silent about this aspect.
