Just happy to be here guys.

States rights and state sovereignty don't carry any weight here. The Constitution’s Supremacy Clause subordinates states’ rights to the national treaty power. When a nation enters into a treaty, it undertakes an international obligation that binds all of its organs (executive, legislative and judicial) and all its constituent jurisdictions (state and federal). A state is responsible for carrying out the obligations of an international agreement.

Am I the only one who takes issue with a foreign entity dictating what laws we can or cannot make? While I may not agree with a state like Utah passing a law against gambling, I do defend there right to do so and I find any treaty or agreement made that hinders there right unacceptable.
