Shouldn't Ukraine already be petitioning the Supreme Court to re-instate military aid?

[CanadaSam]

In view of the treaty signed in Budapest in 1994, the US agreed to help and defend Ukraine against any military invasion by any party.

 

Can the Supreme Court in the US now take up this issue on an urgent basis, and rule that the US has to immediately re-instate all military aid?

 

In other words, can the Supreme Court rule against Trump's knee-jerk reaction to a petty personal squable, to save lives in the Ukraine?

Bound forever? Russia already breached it.

No, it is not recognized as a Treaty. The Budapest Memorandum, signed in 1994, was never ratified by the U.S. Senate, a prerequisite for a treaty to become part of U.S. domestic law under Article VI of the Constitution (the Supremacy Clause). Without ratification, it doesn’t have the status of "supreme Law of the Land" that would allow its provisions to be directly enforced or challenged in U.S. courts. It’s an executive agreement, binding only as a political commitment, not a legal one within the U.S. system.

Why are you lot so against ending the f-ing war? Trump campaigned on doing just that, yet all you idiots are insisting the deaths and destruction continues.  You're psychos. The radical left

It's incredible, isn't it? The same people crowing on about "saving lives in Ukraine" don't seem to care at all about saving lives literally everywhere else.

 

Why are lives in Ukraine of such paramount importance, over all others? The answer is simple: liberals are still trying to avenge 2016. "Russia Russia Russia!" is still a thing, sadly and inexplicably. At least among some (fortunately a shrinking number as President Trump's wins start to stack up).

I'm for Ukraine/Zelinsky over Putin/Trump every day of the week, but this isn't a matter for the supreme court.

It does highlight why Ukraine needs REAL security guarantees this time if there is going to be any real "peace" agreement with genocidal Putin (as opposed to the surrender traitor Trump is pushing). 

Putin if he does pause will only pause to regroup for later assaults.

He's on record for intending to erase Ukraine, and much more.

Save lives by ending the war not by petitioning the SCOTUS to continue it !

You are far too emotional in regards to your comments. You really need to get back down to reality. Putin has won, and did win from the start,  Bidens corrupted administration lied to Zelensky  with regards to unwavering support, but  now, unexpectedly trump won and the rug has been well n truely pulled, you might hate it, but the rest of us understand that there is no longer a possibility of WW3... but keep your pent up anger going and post as much as you want... common sense and logic saved the day
