There are later SCOTUS cases from the 1950's that it was ruled that treaties post ratification cannot trump the Constitution because the authority to make treaty comes from the Constitution. And for that treaty to have authority, it must comply with the US Constitution, if by incident that it is approved by the Senate the USC would still trump it. Only treaties and contracts in place PRIOR to the US Constitution must be honored and can trump our charter of government.
