The C says it in plain English:
The only cumbersome issue is the treaty clause. This is the reason why the dems have tried to push through the UN small arms agreement. That would put the UN in charge and would, by circumvention, nullify all kinds of amendments and the Bill of Rights.
This is why nullification is such a powerful act, as it forces the fed government to field a constitutional argument. However, with the whimpers in Scotus, .......
I have to add here that this treaty issue is from a certain perspective logical, however, the abuse of it is also apparent.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands after 1848 had a parliament but the king simply did his own thing. There is a clause in the dutch Constitution that incorporates unequivocally international treaties. This way the King could still rule without impediment, and even though the ratification process is put in place to balance such power, right now this process of treaty law is being abused. Think the Marrakesh pact I and II.
So, I would suggest that you either HAVE a SUPREME Constitution, or you do not. Because if you haven't, chances are you will be getting ff-ed.
On top, in the US, senators are no longer chosen by the legislature, but by the people. Effectively making the States in terms of representation, absent.
It is interesting to note how en when these changes came about in the context of the subsequent rise in power of international treaties, and embedding in a "rules based international order".
This is also why (among other reasons) the U.N. Is not our friend.
This is the trick often played. Create more layers of management and the bureaucracy takes care of itself.
Treaties are also laws, which must be made in pursuance of the Constitution.
Most people don't know that the 17th Amendment is unconstitution -- deprives the states of their sufferage, which is explicitly prohibited.
Exactly! That is the issue: UN arms treaty would be is unconstitutional even if it had been ratified by the Senate.
That is what in the above case was not discussed. Only that international treaties were unimpededly applicable as the law of the land.
The same goes for many statutes, laws, ordinances.
