Trade promotion authority or fast track gives up the 66% Senate approval the Constitution requires to pass a trade bill. that is thrown away for a simple 51% up or down vote in Congress, no debate and no amendments. It also gives up amendments . What this equals is a an Obama dictatorship as treaties override U.S. laws.It makes these bills unstoppable as no amendments are now allowed and only 51% to pass .

so fast track = obama rewriting U.S. immigration laws, gun laws etc. = the end of America

Republicans supposedly control the House and Senate, so 51% should be enough to prevent anti-American provisions in TPP to pass on an up-down vote of the entire bill.

So, if worker mobility, loss of sovereignty, rampant immigration, loss of border enforcement, ANYTHING negative is in that bill, then our supposed leaders should vote it down.

How many think they will? I think the chamber of commerce owns both the republicans and the democrats. Wall Street gets rich, but main street doesn’t even keep pace. It’s as simple as that.
