註釋Summary of argument: As this brief shows, the Framers recognized and intended that treaties could operate in areas that would otherwise be left to the states, and treaties have impacted domains of state authority in various ways throughout U.S. history. Although Carol Bond's case could be decided on relatively narrow grounds, Petitioner and her amici invite this Court to overrule more than two centuries' worth of precendent and dramatically curtail the U.S. government's ability to credibly commit to and enforce international treaties. Instead, this Court should adhere to longstanding precedent and avoid crafting any new constitutional rules that might have unforeseen and harmful effects on foreign matters and America's standing in the world.
