I think this is the core of the discussion to be had, not just about this treaty but other treaties&#x2F;TPA&#x27;s and the general direction of the geostrategic goals of the United States. It&#x27;s all about national sovereignty, and while I understand the arguments for a reduction of it and an increase in globalism (teetering towards <i>world government</i>), my main issue is that I don&#x27;t understand how people who have sworn an oath to protect and the defend the constitution can turn around and undermine it, especially without having first had the discussion with the American public about their reasons for such pushes.<p>I suspect the reason they don&#x27;t bring these issues into the public light is because they rightly predict that the American people would quickly reject the level of blatant globalism that has pervaded the corridors of power in Wall Street, K Street, and DC.
