DiogenesLamp: "Again, I will point out that my position is supported by the Declaration of Independence, the legal authority from which all other laws in this Nation flow."

Only your delusions, not the Declaration of Independence, support your position.
No legal authority -- none, zero, zip, nada -- flows from your delusions, FRiend.
The Declaration is a foundation for our Constitution, and the Constitution is "the Supreme Law of the Land", regardless of whatever you may fantasize about the Declaration.

[DiogenesLamp]

Only your delusions, not the Declaration of Independence, support your position.

The Declaration enabled the US Constitution. It was under the government formed by the Declaration that the Articles of Confederation came to exist.

From whence came the power to write the articles? Was it from Britain? I don't think so.

By what authority do the articles of confederation serve as law? From whence did their legitimacy come?
