Big time has already cut 70% of our nuke force with his SALT treaty. Things are going to get exciting as the PAX Americana ends.

That’s just silly.

Who would make a treaty that would go against the best interests of the United States????

oh wait...

[KoRn]

Doesn’t treaty ratification require 66 votes in the Senate?

Particularly scary is that the treaties, once signed and ratified, have the same status as constitutional law and cannot be altered or eclipsed by Congress or state legislatures. And their provisions must be enforced by U.S. courts.

I do believe a different opinion exists HERE

While these treaties are atrocious, and any one of them would be problematic if ratified, the United States Supreme Court absolutely CAN overturn all or part of any treaty which it decides violates the United States Constitution.

Article III, Section 2: "The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority..."

Somewhere around here, I saw an old piece of parchment paper, that said something about the Senate having to ratify a treaty before it’s enforcement.

Now where did I see that? Oh, I remember, it was in Zer0’s bathroomm!

Bump for reading and understanding later.

Communist dictators don’t need to worry about little things like the Constitution. Just ask Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the wicked witch of the Left.
