2ndDivisionVet, This is prima facie evidence of a lack of proper civics education in American schools. Civics once covered American history and the US Constitution in High School.

> “Moreover, he is not telling you that the TPA LOWERS THE VOTING STANDARDS, put in by George Washington over 200 years ago, to pass Trade Agreement, agreements, treaties, etc.. by changing the vote from 2/3 to 51% to pass.”

Well “Enlightened”, number one George Washington did not put in voting standards and number two the 2/3s vote you refer to is a constitutional requirement that applies to treaties and the US Senate. It does not apply to trade agreements.

[2ndDivisionVet]

George Washington was the president, not a member of congress.

The TPP is way more than a trade agreement. If you think it is just a trade agreement, then you are a fool.

A rose by any other name.....The Supreme Court gave them carte blanc by allowing them to call treaties trade agreements. Gay of them right?
