Obama: International Treaties Should Trump Constitution

In an attempt to circumvent Congress when deemed necessary, the Obama administration is arguing for international treaties to trump our very own Constitution.

Senator Ted Cruz, former law clerk under former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, warns this is a dangerous argument - the Constitution gives enumerated powers to the government, and allowing the government to invoke international treaties as a basis for policies would conflict with our fundamental laws, Cruz told the Washington Examiner. We already know this administration is trying to undermine the Second Amendment by trying to push through the Small Arms Treaty in the Senate, which would essentially disarm our citizenry. (see post titled "Armed With the Facts").

Once again, our President, as one who studied Constitutional law, has learned what he needs to do to govern without it. So much for his sworn oath to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution.
