... this gentleman's done a comic-based explanation of the economics relevant to the TPP and why it sucks so badly. I hadn't ever had some of that stuff explained so clearly before. I was particularly unclear on the fact that treaties can apparently override established law, without going through the usual legal process.

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking of the House being involved on the side of domestic laws being passed next to treaty ratification. A good example of how this whole mess works (and it does work after a fashion) is the Copyright Act of 1976 which amends domestic copyright laws to bring them in line with UCC and Berne.
