Slide 3- Article VI, Section 2 of the Constitution makes treaties the "Supreme Law of the Land" co-equal in authority with acts of Congress.  The treaties establishing international laws of war are fundamental documents about which there is no ambiguity.  It’s very strange to me that the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution is never mentioned in debates about the war.  Public opinions on the war’s shifting rationales, intentions, mistakes, effects, outcomes etc. are all largely irrelevant, because the war is plainly illegal under our Constitution, period.  We must demand that our nation respect international law, its treaty obligations, and its own Constitution or we no longer have a constitutional democracy and can claim no moral authority in the world.
