If SCOTUS rules in favor of the International Court then you can pretty much kiss the Constitution goodbye.

If we had a signed and ratified treaty on the subject, the Constitution would give that treaty greater weight than state law. Treaties come just under the constitution itself.

I’ve been told though that the treaty under which this action would fall was never signed and ratified. I don’t have a reference.
