“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
I think your the only one on the thread that gets it.
The Declaration of Independence ‘is’ codified law of the USA.
It’s importance to absolute liberty supersedes The Constitution due to rights guaranteed to us by God.
This is why the Libs hate God so much. Our rights are given by him and by no man.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
As infuriating as the leftist policies of the new administration are, I think the majority in this country believes that we're a long way from the Declaration's standard of the insufferable evils needed to provide a legitimate revolution. That was the problem of the Confederate idiots of 1860 who insanely resorted to revolutionary means as a response to political setbacks. Like it or not, a large number of Americans voted for Mr. Obama and our Republic requires a degree of political maturity to accept unpleasant political results.
