I hypothesize that for many signatory nations, it is de facto irreversible.
> just as they currently suffer them now.
Obviously I don't have the text, but it would be surprising if TPP contained no punitive clauses for openly flaunting the agreement.

No. The "transfer of power" bit is the part that TPP and AFA don't have in common.
It is the combination of a law that would be overly costly to change together with a transfer of sovereign power that makes TPP anti-democratic. Either one without the other is fine.

Punitive clauses are unenforceable insofar as they extend beyond "if you tariff us we'll tariff you back". Obamacare transfers sovereign power to various unelected agencies (e.g. HHS) as well. I guess you now agree that Obamacare is an anti-democratic measure?
