(54,770 posts)Congress, you and I will see the final document before it is put up for vote. There will be plenty of opportunity for action on the final version. Plus, it ain't gonna happen for at least a year, likely longer.
Investors CAN'T sue for just any old reason under the agreement. Those times they might have an action, they won't necessarily win, and the country won't necessarily pay. Heck, they can sue now.
They can't strike down any law that impacts profits. I think what they can do is that if a country attracts significant foreign investment based upon a given set of laws and then those laws are changed dramatically, a corporation might have some basis for suing and asking for relief. But, even then, there is no guarantee they can win, or get paid. Again, I think you are taking things to the extreme.
You are not paying attention to reason, and have no faith in Obama.
