hedgetrimmer post #224:I believe in the supremacy of the US Constitution. However there are people in power who put treaty obligations over their duty to protect the Constitution and individual rights. hedgetrimmer post #235: Yes it dissovles our soveiegnty when our congress agrees to sign treaties like this. If you do something that violates one of these treaties, you can be held liable by international organizations. Is that not weakening our sovereignty?

How do these two statements clash? In #224 he says, there are people in power who put treaty obligations over their duty to protect the Constitution and individual rights.

post #224,it dissolves our soverenignty. I see no clash in those two statements. Show me where I am wrong.

Post one describes an illegal usurpation of the Constitution -- a realistic danger. The Constitution would still sovereign -- the supreme power.

Post two says that the Constitution isn't the supreme power. That it can dissolved by a simple vote of congress and a simple stroke of the presidential pen.
