“TPP replicates similar language from past trade agreements that has allowed foreign corporations the right to challenge U.S. federal, state, and local laws outside of American courts.

American politician and political scientist

Dan Lipinski is an American politician and political scientist. He served eight terms as the U.S. representative for Illinois's 3rd congressional district from 2005 to 2021. During his years in Congress, Lipinski represented a Chicago-area district and worked in national politics as both an elected official and a scholar of political science. His public language is tied to that career in government and policy, reflecting the issues and judgments that come with legislative work.
