Any other parts of our foundational documents you would like to dispense with while you’re at it?

Personally, while I think we must keep all the ones you don’t like, I’d happily do away with the 16th and the 17th Amendments.

Pardon me, but I think you are trying to put your shoe on my foot. It is *YOU* who is claiming the purpose of the Declaration was to abolish slavery. I merely pointed out that this is absolutely incorrect, and the purpose of that document was to assert the right of Independence from a larger Union.

You are the one dispensing with the principles upon which the Declaration was founded. You take five words from the document, and you apparently regard the meat of the document as window dressing.
