Treaties not subject to judicial review?

Regarding the article titled "Enforcing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Internationally: Why Congress Shouldn't Lock in the Current DMCA By Approving the Current Version of the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement" (whew, what a long title and subtitle) by Brandy A. Karl which can be found at http://writ.news.findlaw.com/student/20030519_karl.html, is she correct in saying that treaties are not subject to judicial review?

Say, Congress accepts the treaty and it becomes law. Is it possible for the treaty to override the First Amendment and the Copyright Law?
