Heading: Treaties and Constitutional Claims

Text: 15 Mr. Delgado argues that treaties between the United States and the Organization of American States operate to protect his constitutional and humanitarian rights. He also claims constitutional liberty and property interests in his reputation and pilot's license. 16 Mr. Delgado has not identified the treaties on which he relies, nor does he assert that they require the relief he seeks in this case. Rather, he generally alleges that various unidentified treaties protect his fundamental human rights. Even if this is so, Mr. Delgado has not provided any authority stating that flight training is a fundamental human right or that the treaties effect a waiver of sovereign immunity. 17 Turning to Mr. Delgado's constitutional claims, the Supreme Court has stated, where Congress intends to preclude judicial review of constitutional claims its intent to do so must be clear. Webster, 486 U.S. at 603, 108 S.Ct. 2047; cf. Heckler, 470 U.S. at 838, 105 S.Ct. 1649 (determining agency's decision was unreviewable as committed to agency discretion by law, noting that no colorable constitutional claim was raised). We do not address Mr. Delgado's constitutional claims, however, because he has cited no legal authority to establish his claims to liberty and property interests. Because Mr. Delgado has not supported these arguments with legal authority or argued that his positions are sound despite a lack of supporting authority or in the face of contrary authority,. . . we decline to consider these arguments. Simpson v. T.D. Williamson Inc., 414 F.3d 1203, 1206 n. 4 (10th Cir.2005).
