Don’t imagine for a moment that I personally think that treaties take precedence over the Constitution. Unfortunately, as on many other matters, the courts do not agree with me and on this one with thee. It makes absolute sense to me that Congress would have no authority whatsoever without Constitutional grant of authority to act. The POTUS and SCOTUS likewise. However, we are talking about empire-building courts here and not logic or common sense.
No. I don't think that. I was just wondering how the court could find that way.
I should know better. Even George Washington, shortly after having sought freedom from the tyranny of King George, went and squashed the rights of those who participated in the Whiskey Rebellion.
