      This system, called ISDS, is a malignant outgrowth of what was once an attempt to prevent global war.http://www.salon.com/2013/09/20/elites_strange_plot_to_take_over_the_world/ …

      It has turned into this dystopian nightmare of bureaucracy and corruption. But the trade negotiators think of themselves as peaceniks.

      Modern trade agreements are for the most part not really trade agreements anymore. They are investment agreements.

      What is weird about the ISDS issue is that there is actually no policy rationale for this system. Normal courts are fine.

          I mean there are ways to grant immunity if you want without doing this elaborate weird system. You can just, oh, grant immunity.
