True, but that doesn’t mean this guy’s statement about our Constitution allowing a treaty to supercede itself is correct.

You’re right. Treaties don’t supersede the Constitution, but once they are ratified, they do become the law of the land.

Wiki has a decent article about the Constitution and Treaties and how they are amended, superseded or repealed:
