Note that in TPP countries, if a member nation pulled a "stunt" like this, the TPP court could rule that the state law is overturned, and the state could be ordered to pay a fine to the "innocent corporation" whose rights were violated.
That's how dangerous and unprecedented the TPP is. It is a threat to national and state sovereignty.
