“Furthermore, the Constitution says treaties overrule US LAW, not the Constitution.”

Well, he Constitution itself is law. What else would it be? Obviously, though, it wouldn’t let itself be superceded by international agreements, it being a fundamental document. Even if the Constitution were replaceable, it is not sovereign. The people are. We retain our rights, with or without law to protect us.

The Constitution.

All US law emanates from the Constitution, much in the same manner as all Commonlaw emanates from the Magna Carta.
