Declaration of Independence
excerpt
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That
whenever any form of
government becomes destructive [of life] to these ends,
it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it . . . emphasis mine

The Declaration of Indepenence holds no legal authority in the United States. It does hold a deep spiritual and philosophical place I grant you.
The question then is, are YOU willing to follow Jefferson's lead all the way? Are you willing to toss out the current structure of laws we have in the country over this event?

Our founding fathers would be sent to the PC gulag today I tell ya. They would be termed violent, closed minded and when then encountered the left be termed to have anger issues.
They would have challenged dingy harry to a duel by now .......
