Ted Cruz was on with Jeff Kuhner this morning and answered some tough questions about why he supports the TPA/TPP agreements. One of the questions was specifically about what Jeff Sessions has been saying about the trade deal and Cruz blatantly said that what Sessions has been saying is not accurate. In short, he said that the US is not ceding any sovereignty to any transnational commission, that it has no power to bind the US with any law or agreement.
The interview is 24 minutes long and I urge you to listen to the whole thing. But if you want to skip ahead to the Q&A about Jeff Sessions take on this, it begins around 16:10.

UPDATE: Also read here where Ted explains more thoroughly his position and answers questions like why TPP is not a ‘living document’.
Ding ding ding! The very fact that Obie went to the ball game and then to Congress the next day...as well as support of zgOPE....all you need to know about this travesty. Devil is in the details.
Your analysis makes much sense. Now why was it so hard for Cruz to grasp that logic?
:-)
I see, Senator Sessions is a great American when he agrees with you. When he doesn’t, not so great. Guess what Ted, I’d side with Senator Sessions here. Your record isn’t all that great.
Great statement, thank you.
Money buys just about anything.
A great reminder of Ted’s Two-step :(
SO VERY TRUE!
“The latest U.S. labeling rules, put into effect in 2013, require meat sold in grocery stores to indicate the country, or countries, where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered.
According to a WTO report released on Monday, the labeling rules unfairly discriminate against meat imports and give the advantage to domestic meat products.....
The U.S. beef industry has strongly opposed COOL, while organizations representing consumers say that grocery shoppers deserve to know where their meat originates.”
That doesn’t make much sense - unless the “U.S.” beef industry is using stuff from China.
I’m guessing folks that do grow in the U.S. should just put their own voluntary labels on their stuff to promote their U.S. grown food. Of course, then there will need to be some sort of law to prove that.
