by Congress to usurp his authority to give a yea or nay to it.

I am afraid agreements like the TPP will make demonstrating against things like this pipeline moot, if corporations can sue due to lost opportunities for profits.

here comes TPP.
That's how crap happens. While you're watching the left hand, the right goes in a pocket.
Washington is great at that redirection business.
