“Yeah, but the problem with treaties is that, constitutionally, they take precedent over legislative and regulatory acts. “
No, that’s not correct. The DQA legislation is based on the United States Constitution, and no treaty can trump the Contstitution.
Yeh, it’s complex, but we need to understand that no UN treaty law can usurp our constitution. There’s a whole bunch of wrong opinions out there telling us that treaties trump the Constitution. It’s false. It’s left-wing garbage.
The US Constitution, which the DQA is based on, cannot be trumped by a UN treaty or CITES.
Cheers.
A treaty is not superior to the Constitution, but legislation enacted by congress pursuant to the Constitution isn't the Constitution. It's legislation. Regulations enacted by the Executive Branch pursuant to the Constitution aren't the Constitution; they're regulations.. A treaty ratified by congress is the law of the land. Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S Constitution.
Treaties never, ever, ever trump the Constitution. But treaties ratified by congress trump legislation and regulations enacted pursuant to the Constitution. DQA legislation is legislation. It's not the Constitution.
