“Are not treaties the Supreme laws of the United States and are not the States obligated to conform to them?”

Treaties that do not conflict with all of the Constitution are indeed legal. Unconstitutional treaties are not.

“Or is the Supremacy clause just an empty letter?” Only in the mind of progressives & globalists. You cannot enforce some of the Constitution & not all of it though. Try again.

“Where in the Constitution is there a constitutional right to traffic in the marijuana trade?”

In the same place where there’s a right to traffic in alcohol & tobacco. You remember them, I hope. Just 2 of the deadliest substances on the planet that cost our nation billions of dollars every year.

I take it that you are perfectly ok with States and Cities refusing to cooperate with Immigration authorities and thumbing their noses at Immigration laws.

Doesn't seem very constitutionalist to say that the feds acn acquire powers not granted by the Constitution simply by signing a treaty that requires them to exercise such powers.

Imagine the howling if Zero had signed a treaty saying free health care must be provided for all as a basic human right.
