OBAMA'S TREATY FOOLISHNESS IS JUST THAT - FOOLISHNESS

Submitted by: Nancy Battle

TREATIES DO NOT TRUMP
THE CONSTITUTION
There is a lot of concern the President may enter into treaties that deprive of us our property and rights. Article VI, Clause 2 of the Constitution For The United States of America reads:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or 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."
 
Do treaties, therefore, have equal footing to the Constitution?
 
NO!
 
Not according to the Supreme Court they don't. Treaties are subordinate to the Constitution. Treaties are also subordinate to Laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Indeed, new legislation even trumps prior Treaties!
 
The basic principle we should hold to is this: No part of the Constitution may be construed to defeat another.
 
Attached is a synopsis of Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957), a very important case referenced in the Bond v. United States decision sent out yesterday. Every patriot should be made aware of this information. Please pass it on. [My thanks to Larry W for being first to inform me of this decision.]
