As I understand it - this is a treaty which went through congress and was signed by the president - and it gives them the right to make changes. However, congress can refuse to accept these changes within six months (just after new elections but before anyone is seated).

If true - - this is going to be interesting . . .

Can you provide a citation or URL for your statement above? Thank you.

If so, it will still wind its way through the courts and eventually must be struck down as treaties, going through congress or not, cannot override our constitutional rights. A Constitutional Amendment could do so, but that is not the case in this scenario.

This is what I was taught, and I certainly may be wrong.

What was someone saying about a “hill to die on”?
