What authority besides the Supreme Court should we use to determine constitutionality?

Try looking at the words of the Constitution. The word "treaty" is there. The words "trade agreements" are not there.

Every other nation who has signed off on this "agreement" refers to the "agreement" as a "treaty."

So the other countries are entering into a "treaty" and the United States is entering into a "trade agreement."

OK, so after the Supreme Court rulings and literally dozens of congressional-executive trade agreements that haven't been overturned, or even challenged, how do we proceed? In the framers vision of our republic who makes the call on constitutionality?
