All treaties that are approved by 2/3rds vote in the Senate are still subject to constitutional limitations.

See 90!ll

And you're wrong, cll, just like the writers of this article.

From The American Ideal of 1776
The Twelve Basic American Principles

Limited Government in Relation to The Constitution's Treaty Clause
The Constitution is supreme over laws and treaties; it expressly states (Article VI, Section 2) that: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land . . ." This means that any such Law (Act of Congress) which violates the Constitution is automatically made null and void to start with--nullified by the Constitution itself--and therefore cannot be a part of the "supreme Law of the Land." This is also true as to treaties.
