Nope. treaties do not supercede the Constitution.

You misunderstand my comment mymojo. Of COURSE international treaty does NOT override the Constiution. I was referring ONLY to that half baked proposal, which will not even be considered now, as it was in the past. It was originally introduced in 1989.

What you misunderstand is the passage I quoted. However if this treaty has the off chance of being ratified, one of the provisions is that it subrogates the Constitution.......which leads me to say there's not a snowball's chance in the Big Bend area in the middle of the summer for it to be ratified. QED.

Joe, I hope you're right.

Thank you preacher, have faith my friend. :)

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: Background and Policy Issues
April 01, 2009

Note: This exert taken out of context:

"The President has not transmitted CRC to the Senate for its advice and consent to ratification. Despite widespread U.S. support for the overall objectives of the Convention, some past and current policymakers have raised concerns as to whether it is an effective mechanism for protecting children’s rights. The Clinton Administration signed the Convention in February 1995, but did not submit it to the Senate primarily because of strong opposition from several Members of Congress. The George W. Bush Administration opposed CRC and expressed serious political and legal concerns with the treaty, arguing that it conflicted with U.S. laws regarding privacy and family rights. "

It will never happen. He might favor this nonsense but Congress won't even let it out of committee that is if it becomes a bill and has even a sponsor.

If Obama even hints as leading towards favoring that treaty, there will be a backlash against him, the likes no president since Nixon has ever seen.

Hmmmm....maybe on 2nd thought he should favor it. It'd be a good way for Congress to force and early resignation.

That is so totally over the top, it will not even be seriously considered. Whoever is in office, will NEVER subrogate the U.S. Constitution to that treaty.
