To the Editor:
In the Medellin case, the Roberts court
determined--outrageously--that the supremacy clause of the U.S.
constitution doesn't mean what it says. To any reasonable jurist, it
is clear that our international treaty obligations are the supreme
law. Until this precedent is overturned, the Obama administration may
advocate statutory patches but it is not clear that this activist
court run amok won't gut them as it has gutted our constitution.
