What Kerry signed is irrelevant unless ratified by the Senate. The President may form and negotiate, but the treaty must be advised and consented to by a two-thirds vote in the Senate and even if two-thirds did consent, treaties cannot override the first eight amendments in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution’s other specific exceptions to federal authority. Those provisions were adopted to deny the federal government authority it otherwise might have. A treaty cannot override those limits.
Incorrect. Signing a self-evident piece of garbage, if it is a “treaty”, has genuine legal implications. Clinton used treaties to handcuff conservatives repeatedly in the ‘90’s — Bob Bar should know, he was in Congress and watched Krinton do it.
