"A frieze on the Supreme does not trump the Constitution and a treaty ratified in the first decade of this country's existence."
Wow....and you leapt to this leap of logic how????
Where oh where does the Declaration of Independence fit in? I guess it's an unimportant document since it dares mention a creator?
BTW, there are 3 major players in our government, the congress, the supreme court and the executive office of the President. And most certainly citizens are beholden to the Laws of the Land, enfocred by? Yup...the Supreme Court of the Land...
Which is why Michael Newdow was scolded and sent back west with his tail between his legs! As such an intelligent expert on constitutional law, he couldn't even get his case HEARD because he basically hijacked his own daughter! But I hear he's gotten someone else's child and he's back. It'll be most interesting to see this issue finally resolved!
But aside from your leaps of logic, the SC takes some basic tenets from the 10 Commandments. And Christian morals and laws.
Once again, you've passed on education:
yup....you're free to call them conspiracy theories. While many of the rest of us may choose to recognize it exactly for what it is: a dismantling of revisionist propoganda!
But you might get that if you actually went there and READ it! :)
The Declaration of Independence has no legal effect. It is a useful historical document, but the Constitution is the basis for our laws - NOT the Declaration of Independence.
You have 1.75 lawyers on this board patiently explaining to you Constitutional law - patiently, I might add. You could try listening, and asking respectful questions rather than flaming out of ignorance and paranoia.
