I believe your statement about the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution limiting the power of a Treaty is not correct. The Supremacy Clause deals only with the Supremacy of Federal Law over State Law.

Also, the Constitution specifically gives Treaties legal equality, I do not know if it makes then above the Constitution. Someone told me this a year ago and I reacted as you have, utter nonsense, then I looked it up.

Further US Law states that once a Treaty is submitted to the Senate for approval it is treated as if ratified until it is defeated on withdrawn.

So you statement that the right is being outrageous, and the Senator is a liar, is not true. I will be happy to be proven wrong on the above as it makes no sense to me, but this is what I found out in my research!
