Seig Heil the blue UN flag!

Matt Vd@ and others:

Treaties are made by the President and Congress under their executive and legislative powers, and so are subject to constitutional restraints. This is basic constitutional analysis, so commonly understood that there are not in fact that many cases on it, but here are two of the leading ones:

Foster v. Neilson, U.S.Sup.Ct., 1829, a treaty must "be regarded in courts...as equivalent to an act of the legislature" page 254

Reid v. Covert, U.S. Sup. Ct., (1957), No treaty "can confer power on the Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." page 16
 
An interesting point I can't resist bringing up, even though it is somewhat sophomoric:

I recall watching an "Ancient Prophesies" program which had a long segment on Nostradamus. They made a good case that several of his predictions, those dealing with the so-called "three anti-Christs" seemed especially accurate. The claim was he accurately predicted both Napolean (1st anti-Christ) and Hitler (2nd anit-Christ). His prediction for the third, and final, anti-Christ was that the he would appear around our time (Y2K or thereabouts), and would be identified by his blue turbin. Some thought this turned out to be Saddam, but he didn't quite fit the descriptions. Now I don't put a lot of stock in such things, but the more I think about it, the more it seems to me Nostro was talking about the UN and perhaps one of the UN leaders. Blue helmet, blue flag, blue turbin?-- more or less all the same thing. Perhaps the 3rd 'anti-Christ' Nostro was talking about will be the future UN leader who, after building the UN stanging army, tries to implement their wacky socialist agenda by force....

If anyone actually knows more about Nostrodamus and his predictions, feel free to correct me, as my knowledge is comprised of what I saw on TV (and we all know how accurate that is...)
