The Constitution clearly states that the President signs treaties, the Senate ratifies them and any treaties are bound on all judges in all of the states... what part of that don't you understand
At least you know understand that the US DID ratify it and you have the right treaty now... lol
Ask yourself -- does SCOTUS have a role in disputing the role of international treaties once the Senate and the President pass it?
The meaning of supremacy clause has historically been narrow. This is not a treaty of peace after a war -- in which case no state can continue the war of its own accord. This is not an issue of commerce -- in which case a state cannot unilaterally engage in something like an embargo. This is an international law accord that requires the alteration of state constitutions.
