Thus treaties are held at the same level as the Constitution.

Ok, so if the WTO says that Congress is forbidden from establishing a tariff on some product entering the US, although the Constitution assigns Congress that task, then which law should be obeyed?

The problem here is that the WTO, CAFTA, etc. are not really treaties, they are transfers of power from the Federal government to a foreign bureaucracy. This the Founders never intended and I'd bet they'd consider such "free trade" schemes treasonous.

The problem here is that the WTO, CAFTA, etc. are not really treaties, they are transfers of power from the Federal government to a foreign supranational bureaucracy.

The supranational part is important because it is all about the deep integration of all nations into trading blocs. When this occurrs, as in the case of the EU, the countries shed their sovereignty for a supranational constitution.

These treaties are all about the destruction of the nation-state.
