The Supreme Court has already said no to corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds using federal treaty power as a backdoor to effectively expand the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.

To: Amendment10

“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.”

US Constitution

It looks as though treaties do not make the Constitution subservient. The subservient clause appears to reference the constitutions and laws of States, not those of the Federal government.
