ELI5: why would the government fast track legislation that allows them to be sued more easily? (TPP)
gpt
Because they are being ~~paid~~ lobbied to do so.  This is really the only reason.  The politicians are completely in the pocket of the big businesses writing and pushing the treaty.

Investor State Dispute Resolution will not harm the Congress critters who are pushing to fast track this.  The lawsuits against the states/cities/countries will not harm their pocketbooks at all.  It will come out of our tax money.  Meanwhile the politicians will continue to get ~~paid~~ lobbied by big business and will keep telling us how this is good for us.
