"Sounds scary! The only problem is, treaties don't trump the Constitution."
Please read Article VI which says in part:
"and all Treaties made, or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be the Supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound there by"
The US Senate was given the authority to ratify or deny every treaty. They have done a piss poor job of keeping us free.

"and all Treaties made, or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be the Supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound there by" So if a treaty were made that legalized slavery it would be Constitutional? That's funny!
