Laugh all you want, folks. Here's the bad news:

US Constitution. Article VI, sentence 2:

"The Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in the Persuance thereof; and all Treaties made, and which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

Since the US foolishly signed away its sovereignty to the World Court by means of a treaty, the WC's ruling trumps any state law and the Judges in TX and OK are bound by the treaty. This precisely why some of us are against signing treaties in general: they undermine our constitutional freedoms. Sadly, since the majority of the population has been indoctrinated in government-run schools for the past 35 years or so, many folks have no idea of what has actually taken place. The only ways the stays could be stopped would be for the Bush State Dept. to defy the treaty (unlikely in the extreme) or for Congress to repeal the treaty (even less likely).

Was it ratified?

Where did the US sign away its rights? Not in the 1963 Vienna Convention. So where exactly where these rights signed away?
