That's utterly absurd.

The Declaration of Independence has absolutely no standing as a
"legal document."

Yes, it in fact does have standing and has been used by the
SCOTUS. You don't know anything about this do you?

You were trying to wing it and found out that you've no feathers
with which to do that.

Get used to it, there are knowledgeable people on the newsgroup.


The Supreme Court is authoritative because the Constitution makes
it authoritative not because its members are particularly
insightful.

No, the Supreme Court has the onus of ruling on constitutionality of
laws because they assumed it in Marbuy v Madison in 1803 and it has
been accepted law since then.

Yes, the Supreme Court assumed the role of interpreting the
Constitution. That's not the point, though. Its authority to do
anything comes from the Constitution not the ability of its members.

Really? Care to show me any power granted by the Constitution which
allows the Supreme Court to have any authority over the Constitution?


As I said, the Court assumed the power.

Right and you also said the authority of the Court came from the
Constitution, as such where is the Constitutional authority for this action?


Please note that you should keep the 10th Amendment in mind when
answering this question.


The Tenth Amendment is substantially meaningless. It says nothing more
than all power belongs to the people.

Wrong. Seems you don't even know what it says. I suggest you go back and
read it before you further expose the depth of your ignorance.


We already knew that.

Well, I suspected you were ignorant, but it was nice of you to confirm that
fact.
