So a treaty, as 'the supreme law of the land', trumps the Constitution giving authority to the Federal government to adopt it?

That's the legal position of a slave, or, as it is known now, 'judicial supremacy'.

It doesn't trump the Constitution, the Supreme Court has previsouly determined that Treaties cannot act in contravention of the Consitution, rather, the Constitution gives the weight of national law to treaties, which includes the Vienna Convention and the ICJ statute.
