Even if ratified, the notion that a treaty overrides the Constitution is just plain untrue.

It's been done for over seventy years, Reid v. Covert notwithstanding.

You have an example.

The Constitution says that the Constitution and treaties are the supreme law. Which by logic says that the Constitution outranks a treaty. Otherwise the President and 2/3 of the Senate could amend the Constitution without involving the House or States.
