“A treat can and will trump US law. Ask anyone who deals with shipping.”
That is not what I said so let me repeat.
A treaty cannot trump the Constitution, like the 2nd Ammendment. This is established case law.
Constitution
Treaties
Laws
That is the order.
Justice Black declared: “neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperant when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our government”.
While I agree that this case could be construed as to your assertion, with the court that we now have, I’m not so sure that this case would surfice as a defense... just saying. Did this case involve an agreement or a treaty?
