A treaty, of course, supercedes the U.S. Constitution.
Where in the Constitution does it say that??
I know it authorizes that Congress can approve treaties, but where does it say that sovereignty, or the Bill of Rights is given up to one??
I thought in Bush vs Texas, SCOTUS confirmed that the Constitution had supremacy over treaties.

NOT ANYMORE.
Don’t forget that we learned just last week that conservatives no longer have a majority on the bench.
If Roberts will cave on healthcare, he will cave on anything.

And if it were in the Constitution it wouldn’t be spelled wrong!

Article VI.
This line puts treaties on par with The Constitution itself. And newer laws supercede older laws. That said, they won't get any 67 votes. Hec, they probably wouldn't get Bernie Sanders' vote.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; 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 thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
