Senator Jeff Sessions is worried that the adoption of the Trans-Pacific Partnership would lead to an "historic international regulatory Commission" that would eoncmpass 90 percent of the world's GDP. He's concerned that it would "[create] a self-governing and self-perpetuating Commission with extraordinary implications for American workers and American sovereignty."
“The House is preparing to vote again tomorrow on providing fast-track executive authority to the President. If adopted, it will be sent immediately to the Senate for final consideration," Sessions says in a statement to be released tonight.
"It is essential that there be no misunderstanding: fast-track preapproves the formation of not only the unprecedentedly large Trans-Pacific Partnership, but an unlimited number of such agreements over the next six years. Those pacts include three of the most ambitious ever contemplated. After TPP comes the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the United States and the European Union, followed by the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), seeking as one its goals labor mobility among more than 50 nations. Together, these three international compacts encompass three-fourths of the world’s GDP. Including the nations whose membership is being courted for after enactment, the countries involved would encompass nearly 90 percent of global GDP. Yet, through fast-track, Congress will have authorized the President to ink these deals before a page of them has been made public. Then, the Executive sends Congress 'implementing' legislation to change U.S. law—legislation which cannot be amended, cannot be filibustered, and will not be subjected to the Constitutional requirement for a two-thirds treaty vote.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This is breathtaking; I will await for a Cruz supporter to comfort me.
Breathtaking is not exactly the word I would choose. :(
Breathtaking in the sense that it is so alarming that I forget to breathe.
Bttt
Oh. I thought you meant like getting punched in the solar plexus with brass knuckles.
My bad.
Perhaps a bit lower than that.
Fascists handling World Trade...
What could go WRONG?..
Quick, someone show Sessions that Photoshopped image of Ted Cruz and Ronald Regan in front of a huge American flag!
Certainly once he sees that he’ll realize that the TPA is as patriotic and constitutional as a Chevy Van driving a case of fresh apple pies to a Little League game.
Say bye bye to our sovereignty if this passes and hello NWO.
The Establishment in both parties are the Globalist that want this one world order that the Bible warns us about.
Even if you are not a believer of the Bible or whatever..., you should at least recognize this is NOT a good thing for anyone.
We will no longer have representation, and congress will simply be there for ceremonial purposes.
How this is not HIGH TREASON against their OATHS to the U.S. Constitution is beyond me?
Fast track authority itself has been around most of the time since 1974. It is quite literally the only way to get multi-lateral trade agreements in place. No agreement could possibly be reached if each of 10 or 15 countries can propose amendments, exclusions, etc.
That’s not necessarily an argument in favor of Fast Track. Maybe we don’t need or want any large multi-lateral agreements. But if we do, FT is the only way to get them.
ROFL! Snort
DimocRATS and Repubikans = No Difference.
I just cannot believe that the [former] Party of Reagan is about to give away our sovereignty and give this authority to 0BowMao, no less.
