Jeff Sessions has defied threats to prosecute those who disclose specifics of the trade agreement. He has revealed content. Others should read the document and speak up. Would Obama order the DOJ to prosecute senators who disclose contents of this odious bill? That heavy-handedness would only serve to doom passage of the TPP forever. I also believe that constitutional questions about the so-called confidentiality of this document would arise.

The secrecy thing is especially repugnant. Bill Clinton did not hide NAFTA in this way.
