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;"

CAFTA did not begin in Congress In the same sense that Budgets do not begin in Congress. The President submits what he thinks he needs, and Congressmen take it and submit it as a bill...but if no Congressman is willing to submit it, it just sits there as a proposal.
CAFTA is not a treaty, but a law...thus it can be repealed as a law if the Congress so decides, and the President does not veto...or Congress can over-ride the veto - and unlike with a treaty, the President can't just blow them off.
