John Kerry: “Can the Senator show where it is specifically when the Supreme Court has held this is not self-executing, there is no…”

On the recordDecember 4, 2012
Can the Senator show where it is specifically when the Supreme Court has held this is not self-executing, there is no access to American courts; when it is clear by the statements of the treaty itself there is no law of the United States that is changed? When Attorney General Thornburgh, who helped to negotiate this treaty on behalf of President George Bush, says there is no change in law, what is it that the Senator suddenly has that suggests otherwise that has any basis in fact?
