Lawfare readers might be interested to follow a Volokh Conspiracy online debate between Lawfare senior contributor/NYU professor Rick Pildes and Volokh blogger/Georgetown professor Nick Rosenkranz on whether a treaty can increase the legislative power of Congress.  Rick is guest-posting at Volokh in a couple of exchanges with Nick; they are continuing a debate they began at the Federalist Society convention in New Orleans earlier this month.  The topic has important implications for national security issues, of course, and their exchanges are very substantive.
