Judge Declares Declaration of Independence Unconstitutional

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


But liberal scholars consistently encounter one little problem: there would be no Constitution without the Declaration of Independence.  This legal document gave notice to the international community that a new nation was being formed.  Without it there is no United States of America.  It gives us the legal right to enact a Constitution.  More important, it is a declaration of rights that no government can take away.

We are all still created equal and we are still endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights.  If our current government sought to trample these rights, if it were to become destructive, it is still “the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.”

The enemies of God in our government have a problem with the Declaration of Independence, and ignoring a problem does not make it go away — we learned that the hard way on September 11, 2001.

The Declaration of Independence is the foundation of our legal jurisprudence.  Indeed, it is the foundation of our country.  And in fact, it makes reference to what they hate the most, God.

So liberal activists should be truthful for once, or at least intellectually honest (remember, they believe there is no truth; everything is relative), and stop their little nonsensical lawsuits against “under God” in the pledge of allegiance, the 10 Commandments in the public square, “In God We Trust” in our coins, etc., and ask a judge (perhaps the brilliant Ninth Circuit) to declare, once and for all, the Declaration of Independence unconstitutional.

After that perhaps they can finally take their cases to the House of Lords.

"Four storm-related deaths in Indiana occurred when a van carrying a woman and her three daughters skidded into a pond in Carmel, Indiana. The vehicle was underwater when emergency crews Saturday night, authorities said."

State Rights Fantasy
Your state's rights fantasies remind me of a bunch of fools sitting around a bar after a Confederate civil war reenactment. Maybe there will be a state's right's revolution to undo stare decisis since FDR, but I kinda doubt it.

Until then, your dreams of religious bigotry of the "majority" will remain where they are right now...in the dustbin of history.

PS...if you don't think there should be a separation of church and state that means, what, a combo of the two? You don't seem like Anglicans...
