>Where do you get that Medellin is an “illegal” out of the Fox News story.

I didn’t read the FOX story, but I am familiar with the case and the killer is not an American. I don’t know about illegal.

>Whether we like it or not, the U.S. signed the Vienna Treaty, and Treaties are equal to the U.S. Constitution under our system of government.

close, but no cigar. No treaty can abrogate or supersede Constitutional law, no matter how ms Ginsburg feels about international law and the supremacy of the communist political system.

And treaties can be legally ignored, abrogated, or unilaterally terminated.

You can’t do that with ease to the Constitution.

Sure you can. They do it all the time.

What did Glorious Leader call it not too long ago? Something like, "It's just a g-d piece of paper"?
