Joe, that's the WHOLE PURPOSE of these trade deals.  See

In Massachusetts they've already eliminated the law prohibiting purchase of
products made by corps doing business in Burma.  See

In Canada they've wiped out the law against that toxic fuel additive MMT.  See

As far as the big corps are concerned, these judicial actions are just the
beginning.
