This is simply not Constitutionally accurate. Treaties (along with the Constitution) are the supreme law of the law (Article VI).
CAFTA is not a treaty, even if you ignore the fact that the senate did not ratify it. It looks, acts, and most definitely is simple legislation.

Article VI "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States,;shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
unconstitutional legislation and treaties without the consent of the "states" is not the law of the land --
"All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives" --- CAFTA did not begin in Congress
but to each his own -- that's why we also have "freedom of speech, or of the press;"
