Donovan, you wrote,
"I don't see the United States government as having the right to concede powers it doesn't
have.
The people of the United States never consented to international law. So it isn't valid
unless if also
happens to also be federal or state law.
Treaties are simply agreements between to two or more parties. I don't consider them law
abiding. They are simply if and then statements, such as if you give a $10 Billion and
shut down
your ship production I will not bomb you. If you don't I will continue, or if you allow us
to ship in
100 million auto parts, we will allow you to ship in 20 million computer parts if you
don't, we
won't. You must have the consent of the governed, international law doesn't."

I am still amazed that you don't understand the 6th Article of the US Constitution which
stares in
part: " Article Six establishes the Constitution, and the laws and treaties of the United
States made
in accordance with it, to be the supreme law of the land".
End of argument, the US Constitution makes treaties the supreme law of the land. They ARE
federal laws! Officers of the Executive Branch of government take an oath "to support and
defend
the Constitution of the United States", so if the violate the Supreme Law of the Land,
they are in
violation of that very
oath!
