once a treaty is ratified by the Senate, it becomes the supreme law of the land. I don't believe this is the case.

Well yes unless its totally unconstitutional. No treaty trumps the Constitution. But we all need to make known to our senators that this is unacceptable and to vote no. Personally I don’t believe this treaty has the 67 votes needed in the Senate and will not have.

I don't believe this is the case.You are correct: All treaties that are approved by 2/3rds vote in the Senate are still subject to constitutional limitations.
