This has to do with judges that have nothing to do with people, but only looks at trade.

They circumvent our laws to make corporations more powerful than countries.

Condemning and interjecting into other countries human rights violations are country .vs. country issues, at a human level.

This trade decision has the guise of being country .vs. country, but I'll guarantee you that this has
more to do with corporations right to trade freely wherever they want, regardless of local laws.
