This line:

“...all treaties made...shall be the supreme law of the land;”

Is the backdoor, through which our “inalienable” rights will be taken away................

To: Red Badger
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

This boils down to laws made under the Constitution shall be subject to the Constitution, as well as any treaties made (under the authority of the United States... i.e. Constitution).

This does not allow for treaties to bypass the Constitution.
