Even if they are able to pass TPP, there's evidence to say that the Constitution can still overrule it:

Reid v Covert:

The Court found: "No agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution."

Of course though, it once again comes down to the Supreme Court (though I don't think the Supreme Court would be friendly to recognizing a tribunal that would be more powerful than itself)
