by covered, do you mean they mentioned it for 2 minutes? this is a pretty big deal, i dont see why this isnt 24/7 news coverage.

hmm i havent really seen it at all being covered. you would think this stuff would be al over the main stream.

I watched about 4 hours of debate and the votes today on CSPAN.

TPP wasn't voted on.. it was fast track authority or TPA.

Was TPA voted on?

Yes. It passed the House by a few votes. But it has to now go to the Senate and then back to the House for a final vote.

Pacific trade pact moves step nearer after Senate vote

On the procedural vote, 13 of the chamber's 44 Democrats supported the legislation. They were joined 47 of the Senate's 54 Republicans, giving supporters of the legislation the 60 votes needed to proceed in the 100-member chamber. The bill itself now needs 51 votes to pass.

If all goes according to Republican leaders' plans, Congress also would send Obama this week a bill renewing an aid program for workers who lose their jobs as a result of trade deals.

The president wants both bills and he has left open the possibility of waiting for Congress to send him both before signing fast track into law.

Fast-track legislation would let lawmakers set negotiating objectives for trade deals, including the TPP, but it would restrict them to yes-or-no votes on final agreements.

havent heard any media coverage whatsoever on the unconstitutional TPP that just passed the house. all these BS news stories being covered 24/7, while our sovereignty is about to go out the window. gotta love the MSM.
