The Constitution can only be changed by an amendment. The Constitution belongs to the States, and the People. They created it, and only they can change it.

An agreement between US government officials and UN officials to subvert the Constitution is a conspiracy, not a treaty.

It will never be ratified in the Senate. Not even Obama’s Senate.

Sure and Obama can never be re-elected, it can never happen here, yada, yada, yada.

Our Constitution was @ZZ wipe to Earl Warren and it hasn’t improved a bit since then, but we were saved by Roberts, riiiiiight.

Treaties cannot amend the Constitution.

To amend the Constitution, you need two thirds of both houses of Congress and three quarters of the states. Or a slimy justice or two.

How will they round up gazillions of guns?

Well they aren't trying to round up the illegals, in fact they can just hire them to gather up the guns, after all they know who you are, and where you live.

In a polite society such as ours, that would be deemed impolite.

On further reflection, I’ve decided my first reply to your post was rude and stupid, even if I had been right. I apologize.

Unfortunately for all of us, Treaties do superseded the Constitution as far as past (and presumably current) US Supreme Courts are concerned. This has been upheld three times: Washington, Michigan, and Florida.

I know this sounds like herasy to you an other FRs, but I lived it - as have many others.

To see the origin of this we must go back to the early 1970s and President Nixon.

You may or may not know that at that time Nixon was determined to resolve the Aboriginal status of the Alaskan tribes.

This was also at a time when US trade balances were in a high positive period; the major contributors were Timber, Commercial Salmon Fisheries - specifically in the Pacific NorthWest (PNW), and Boeing.

This story is long, twisted, and at times devious, but the result was the same.

Extremely high activism by PNW Treaty Tribes managed to bring a collection of lower court cases to the point of SCOTUS review. The Tribes collectively - using Federal funds and high priced lawyers argued that they were entitled to most of the salmon runs in the PNW.

Later they used the same arguments to gain most of the PNW shellfish industry as well as Whaling rights (each whale taken by the Makah is sold for one million dollars or more to the Japanese.).

I and others were responsible for bringing this issue to the SCOTUS in 1979, wherein SCOTUS upheld Treaty Tribes Rights. Those Rights were deemed to supersede non-Treaty citizens “rights”.

These non-Treaty citizens so-called “rights” were deemed for purposes of law the be “mere privileges, which can be revoked at any given time.” In short, only Treaty Tribes have Rights, and all others have privileges.

Constitutional gurus argued long and hard the pros and cons in various lecture halls, but the decision stood.

Thus was the Commercial Salmon industry destroyed, followed shortly by use of the Spotted Owl and Marbled Murrelet to destroy the Timber industry.

And so began the War on Natural Resource Harvesters which continues to this day - unnoticed and unreported by all media outlets.

You will be glad to know that any Treaty Tribe can, if it so desires, have a Special Master appointed to oversee whatever it is they want. If you protest, a Federal Marshal will pay you a visit - not pleasant, as I can attest.

If you are so inclined, see here for all the court cases involved - as well as the Treaties the decisions were based on:

and:

and specifically:
Washington v. Fishing Vessel Assn., 443 U.S. 658 (1979)
