"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."What we need is what the constitution dictates: congressional authorization. For Iraq, that was actually given though in a manner that is chickenshit because congress wanted to authorize 'war' without calling it war
Article VI Constitution US Law LII Legal Information Institute
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution"
The Constitution requires officers of the US government to abide by all treaties enacted by the US Congress, as in signing the UN Charter; and it doesn't really matter what shit-for-brains conservatives think about the UN. Iraq posed no existential threat to your double-wide and the UNSC did NOT authorize the US invasion of Iraq. Hence, Iraq is just one more example of US terrorism.
As is regularly noted, the US Constitution is not a suicide pact. It does not suspend reason and where a Treaty is signed, which the people reject, that treaty is null and void, without regard to the Constitution, the Government or International law says. And that such is desperately needed by the Ideological Left, is... as is always the case where the issue is what the Left says: such is irrelevant.
