TPP means executive overreach on global scale

From gun control to executive amnesty, Iran nuclear appeasement and “climate change” energy caps, this president has a smug disregard for the constitutional process and Congress.

President Obama is asking Congress to approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a global regulatory pact that currently involves 12 countries on four continents taking in some 40 percent of the world’s economy. The TPP agreement establishes a Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission with sweeping regulatory powers. This commission will oversee the implementation and operation of the agreement, interpret its terms and have sole power to amend or modify the pact.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission is, in short, an international regulatory agency. It will be staffed by faceless, foreign, unelected bureaucrats tasked with writing rules on immigration, food, energy, medicine, Internet, copyright, patents and business within our borders as well as across our borders.

The TPP stipulates that the rules these bureaucrats write must comply with other international agreements, such as the Paris climate change agreement and other pacts promulgated by the United Nations. Obama will call on Congress to approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership in his State of the Union speech Tuesday. Tell Congress to vote No on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The source of this article is on the far-right but their opposition is noteworthy.

I have never heard that the TPP would enforce Paris climate standards. (Most environmental organizations I have seen oppose the TPP.) I assume this is more RW bullshit.

It's hard to get that many bullshit talking points into one sentence.

But I guess they figured better to get them out as quick as possible before folks laugh and say "fuck the RW idiot who wrote this!".
