There is room to debate. It may be limited, but it’s there.

What isn’t there is the ability to filibuster the thing. Thats the real problem area.

I’m totally confused about this whole issue and I don’t know who to believe anymore. Cruz and Walker, the only two of the current field I would consider supporting, are both in favor of TPA. But then I heard Sen Sessions on Rush yesterday advocating against it.

What I’m confused about is which deal (TPA or TPP) sets up this dangerous new Pacific council and all that? I assume that’s TPP. If so, and if once TPP is read for 60 days and it’s determined that it’s horrible, can’t Congress vote it down on a majority vote?

I realize we have a lot of traitors in the GOP, so even if the answer to my question is yes, it’s still not very comforting. But at least we would still have an opportunity to lobby Congress to vote down TPP once it is revealed. Is that true or am I missing something?
