The ABM treaty first entered into force October 3, 1972, between the U.S. and former USSR to constrain the Parties from deploying territorywide defenses against strategic ballistic missiles. By withdrawing from the ABM Treaty on June 14, 2002, saying that "the U.S. must protect its homeland, its forces, and its friends and allies against the threats of missile attacks from rogue nations and terrorist groups" (George W. Bush), the President insists that he has the authority to terminate any treaty without the consent of Congress. But according to Article 6, Clause 2, of the Constitution, treaties constitute the "supreme law of the land." And the President does not have the authority to repeal laws: Article I, Section I, empowers Congress to create laws, and charges the President only with carrying out these laws. Thus, the President's termination of the ABM Treaty represents an unconstitutional repeal of a law duly enacted by Congress. I filed a lawsuit in federal district court to block the President from withdrawing from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty of 1972. The United States must immediately re-engage in the important treaties that the Bush Administration has abandoned. We must affirm and ratify treaties, beginning with: Anti-Ballistic
