Thus, the provisions of any ratified treaties become co-equal with the Constitution, but not part of it. The nasty bit here is that the provisions of ratified treaties are immune to alteration, supplantation, or cancellation by either the formal amendment process or declaration from a Constitutional convention.

Time for some enterprising law student to find some odious clause of some obscure treaty and use it against the federal government. Probably some indian treaty from the 19th century should contain something like that.

Where've you been, mate? Law student or not, this has already been done many times.

In the Constitution, there isn't even the faintest hint of what the social-justice (sic) attorneys call 'environmental' and/or 'human rights' ''law''. Correct me if wrong, but such a body of ''law'' would seem to be quite thoroughly established these days, eh?

Wonder how this happened, do you?
