something to keep in mind, given obozo's penchant for imperial edict and his 'citizen of the world' shtick.

Some states and members of state legislatures have attempted to create legislation that would obviate or restrict the use of international law in their courts. Under the text and structure of the US Constitution and predominant trends in federal and state judicial decisions, this would not be constitutionally permissible.

Under the Supremacy Clause of the constitution, it is unavoidably mandated that, along with the constitution:

"[T]he Laws of the United States ... and all Treaties ... 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 Contrary notwithstanding."
