Rep. Thomas Massie on pending WHO treaty: Treaties don’t override our Constitution
twitter ^ | May 14 | Rep. Thomas Massie

@RepThomasMassie

Treaties don’t override our Constitution.

If a treaty purports to supersede our Constitution, that treaty is unenforceable.

It’s seditious to promote the idea that a President and 67 Senators have license to void the Constitution or any of our laws.

Was it back during Bush 1’s term that they tried something similar with the Law of The Sea Treaty?

Do we still have a Constitution when we have non-natural born citizens as President and VP?

Article 6:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

This means that a ratified treaty can supersede the constitution according to the constitution.

Reagan initially said “NO!” but, yes, Bush allowed some form of it to pass. Not sure of the details. Outside of a One World Government there’s no way to enforce it or any other alphabet org dictum. Charitably, perhaps Bush was thinking that, e.g. “Who cares? We’ll do whatever we want regardless!”?

AS I understand it, the problem with the Pacific Trade Treaty was that only a small portion of the treaty was about trade. The people in government who were permitted to read the treaty were sworn to secrecy. (We have to pass the treaty to know what’s in it, kind of thing.) As I understand it, if a guy used in a murder in a PTT country was traced to a gun shop in, say, Texas, then we’d have to ensure that never happened again...therefore, gun control. If we didn’t do it, then our PTT partners could put tariffs on our products. And of course, such a thing would have occurred within days of the treaty being ratified. Our politicians would say, “Hey, it’s not us doing gun control. WE have to do it, or we can’t trade with any of these countries. See, it’s them!”

However, when Trump came along, he said, “I’m renegotiating these treaties. Take them or leave them, I don’t care.” But under Obama or Biden we’d certainly have gun control. It would take years to get to the Supremes and thousands of businesses would be ruined by then.

Signing that treaty would definitely be unconstitutional, and the globalists would love to undermine it so don’t be surprised if our traitorous politicians try to sneak it through. We need more like Massie and Rand Paul in there to put an end to this treachery.

Do treaties no longer have to be voted on by the US Senate to be “valid”???

Sedition is right- question is, will any republicans have the backbone ot protect our country against such a blatant and seditious act as that? The left are attempting to subvert our sovereignty as a nation- that is sedition plain and simple-

Bannon covered this yesterday with Michele Bachmann. Biden will offer 19 amendments to give the WHO rights to tell us what to do. This will happen later this month, May 26th I believe. Follow Michele Bachmann for details.

Bannon’s call to action, make phone calls. According to him, once this is done it cannot be undone regardless of who is in power come Nov. And it seems rep are sleeping……..as usual.

…A 2009 study published by the University of Michigan found that 52.9% of international agreements were executive agreements from 1839 until 1889, but from 1939 until 1989 the ratio had risen to 94.3%.

The founding fathers designed the international agreement system with a lot of flexibility, or, depending on your perspective, ambiguity, because even they couldn’t agree on which branch of government should have the dominant say in how the U.S. reached deals with foreign governments.

In recent decades, presidents have entered into thousands of executive agreements with foreign governments, on a range of issues, both controversial and relatively basic...

Biden/Obama are the culprits, by publishing amendments to rules the US agreed to, published to the Federal Register in January that cedes US medical power to Tedros, the CCP approved dictator. Xi, Putin, the UAE leader, and who know who, dying in time for the WEF conference after the UN May conference.

As I understand it, the “treaty” is a feint. It is actually a sovereignty-ending update to the “International Health Regulations” of the WHO that we have already agreed to follow that the are trying to get through in the next two weeks.

This means that a ratified treaty can supersede the constitution according to the constitution.

No it doesn't. It means that ratified treaties are equal to US laws. Just like any other situation where two duly enacted (or ratified) laws conflict, the judiciary is supposed to rule on which supersedes the other.

America is plunging headlong into a globalist empire.

There’s a very few people, like Massie, who are aware of it and working against it

If I understand it correctly, they are also trying to subvert states rights by vesting authority in the WHO regulations unless the Feds specifically opt out of a particular regulation almost immediately.

We are in our 8th nationally declared emergency.

Consider, too, that Oz, the big pharma candidate, is on record wanting the CDC to go after g u n s for safety’s sake.
