Thank you. I was just getting ready to post the same but decided to read further. Plus since the TAA didn't pass, it makes the TPA moot.
Plus, I'm sick of posters here confusing the secrecy of the multi-nation negotiations for TPP (which is on-going) with the open TPA and TAA bills. What happened to the reading abilities of so many on this forum, not to mention logical analysis?
TPA - the authority to 'fast track' secret Presidential trade agreements (TPP & others) with a straight up/down vote by congress.(60 day public review was in the TPA)
Some like me may fear, like we've seen in the past with RINOs that pass a bill out of committee with their Yes or Yeah then vote No or Nay on their congressional vote when they figure the full senate or house has the votes to pass, allowing cover for them passing the bill out the committee in the first place.
TPA gets passed, then Obama rallies his party (Pelosi gets her mind right) & the RINOs to pass TPP with a majority vote, while Conservatives get to vote no.
Why give Obama the TPA vehicle to pass Obamacare size secret trade agreements with limited review & no amendments?
