TPA is a fast track to TPP... Many of us who oppose TPA know this. TPA is a bill you can read. TPP is an agreement Obama is negotiating that will destroy our sovereignty.... We only know this because of true patriots like Sessions... We cannot read TPP. Slippery slope. I like Cruz , but he is wrong on this one.

How do you know what TPP will do if TPP is still under negotiation?

No law can be changed through a trade agreement unless made by Congress. A foreign government or foreign body cannot make, change or amend US law. Only the US Congress can do that.

Moreover, the publicly available TPA bill states that no trade agreement can alter US law.

With TPA, you like everyone else will have 60 days to review the proposed trade agreement before Congress can take any action on it.

It is foolish to suggest you know the content of TPP or any other proposed agreement without having to actually review it yourself (during that 60 day window granted by TPA)

LOL, Jeff Sessions “True Patriot” That title will last for what, an hour before someone finds a contradictory vote or two.

Oh wait, look at this...

http://www.ontheissues.org/International/Jeff_Sessions_Free_Trade.htm

Then why did he vote this:

Voted YES on permanent normal trade relations with China.

Vote to give permanent Normal Trade Relations [NTR] status to China. Currently, NTR status for China is debated and voted on annually.
