Calling them "trade agreements" to get around the 2/3 requirements rather than simply having up/down votes on them as treaties is dishonest. Of course anyone who looks for honesty from our government is a fool who will ultimately be disappointed. Our feral government will do what it wants, when it wants to get what will most quickly enrich the oligarchy.
Except that "Trade Agreements" have been around for over 100 years and have been blessed by the Supreme Court as constitutional.

In this case,what I'm saying is that these "agreements" easily pass the 'duck' test, being as how they walk, quack, and even fly like a duck. The senate should enforce the constitution by admitting the things are ducks, and handling them appropriately.

Blessed by the same scotus that blessed abortion on demand and obamacare. Their “blessing” isnt worth a pitcher of warm spit.
