Carry_Okie is correct in post#33 about the surreptitious nature of treaties. It is to be expected that this sort of mechanism be used to strip us (legally, anyways) of our God-given freedoms. As usual, sneaking things into law behind our backs and beneath our notice are the standard modus operandi of the modern-day tyrant.

Sadly, Hamilton's bombast, Randolphs bluster, and Madison's stammering (all in the article) show that the founders did it too. I don't care what their reason was, it's up to us to fix that mistake.
