The Declaration of Independence is the foundation of the constitution. And God is the source of our rights - not bureaucrats like you.
If you're going to use ad hominems (understandable considering the weakness of your position in a secular-based debate), try using ones that make sense.

Read above. The constitution just IMPLEMENTS what is written there.
The Declaration was "why", not "how". You can't, for example, cite the Declaration in a court of law. (indeed, cameras should be permitted in the USSC to film Scalia's reaction if anyone ever does.....hehehe).

Even so, the Declaration may say that our rights came from some Creator, but it does not say that we remain subordinate to same, as the phrase "One Nation Under God" claims.
