   Actually, if you read the Constitution you'll find that treaties are on an   
   equal par with the Constitution (Section 4, Article VI, paragraph 2):   
      
       This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be   
       made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be   
       made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme   
       law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby,   
       any thing in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contraray   
       notwithstanding.
