James, you've done an amazing job not only finding the proposed amendments but also getting the word out and setting people up with action steps to take. Many thanks. I have one suggestion. I posted your Executive Summary on social media and immediately someone shot it down based on your first statement. You claim that the 2005 IHR regulations override and supercede the US Constitution. That's not true. And unfortunately that's all it took for the whole thing to be discredited and for people to be less trusting of what I post. Can you correct that statement so people don't have a good reason to brush the whole thing off? Again, many thanks for the work you do. Peeeeeeace!
Many people misunderstand the severity of this situation.
John Foster Dulles April 12, 1952
The treaty making power is an extraordinary power, liable to abuse. Treaties make international law and also they make domestic law. Under our Constitution, treaties become the supreme law of the land. They are, indeed, more supreme than ordinary laws for congressional laws are invalid if they do not conform to the Constitution, whereas treaty law can override the Constitution. Treaties, for example, can take powers away from the Congress and give them to the President; they can take powers from the States and give them to the Federal Government or to some international body, and they can cut across the rights given the people by their constitutional Bill of Rights.
