Reply #6: The US Consitution addresses International Treaties [View All]

[happyslug]

and calls them "The surpeme law of the land". This is Article VI. paragraph 2 of the US consitution to wit:

"This consitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the Untied States shall be the supreme law of the land; and the jusges in every state shall be bound thereby, and thing in the consititions or the laws of any state to the contray notwithstanding"

Thus the Geneva Convention IS PART OF THE SURPEME LAW OF THE LAND and has to be addreses by the US Supreme Court.
