"Any treaty supercedes law, so beware! We can lose our law quicker than most believe."

That's what the one-worlders would like us to believe, but it is just not so. All laws are passed by congress, treaty laws included - - - but only with the PROVISO that all laws passed remain in pursuance to the Bill of Rights/U.S. Constitution. (Article VI, para 2.)

All laws must pass the litmus test of the 'pursuance' clause.

Thanks for clarifying. A lot of people think that treaties can supercede our Constitution, and therefore are passive to them if they are ratified.

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;"

A'hem...Just a practical observation. Has the Court ever struck down a treaty as not being in pursuance....?
