But surely after it goes to the senate it will be either a ratify or no-ratify on the agreement. Negotiations will have already finished between countries and everything agreed on, is there any scope for change or public input at that point?
The TPP is going to be terrible for some countries, including patent agreements that will multiply the cost of drugs, forced disconnection for copyright infringement and the ability for multi-nationals to sue governments who make laws that will hurt their future profits (eg safety, regulation, security, environmentalism, etc).
It's something the public should be actively involved in now, while negotiations are occurring rather than being placated by the New York Times for it to later roll through the senate.
