Too bad for him there is that pesky little thing called the Constitution that says that all treaties are to be considered the high law of the land

Yep, that's sure enough going to come back to bite us in the ass under nobama. I can't believe anyone would think that UN treaties should supercede the Constitution.

..UN treaties should supersede the Constitution..

In this case, no one is saying that UN treaties are superseding the Constitution just like no other written law supersedes the Constitution. Treaties just like laws, are tools. The Constitution is supreme law but does give the authority to create tools (such as treaties). The Constitution also gives the proper way these are ratified and how you get out of them (via legislative process.)
