total BS.

The Senate of the US must approved any treaty by a 2/3 majority.

They won't approve any such treaty.

However, it IS true that constitutionally a treaty trumps all other laws.

It does. It does not, however, trump the Constitution.

The order is:

  1. Constitution.
  2. Treaties and Federal laws.
  3. State laws.
