but my small dose of legal training says that the courts aren't going to be excluded when someone challenges a treaty provision as a violation of the Constitution.

Or as Andy Jackson said, they have made their decision, now let them enforce it.

If the courts say something is illegal and the government continues, what is a conservative to do? I've never had the privliege of swearing an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, but I think I know how quite a few people who have taken that oath would feel. I think it is now deeply ingrained that the government has no authority to order an illegal action. If we didn't take that away form Nuremburg, then what did we?
