The Declaration is part of US law.So, there are lawyers, judges and lawmakers who are unable to understand that the Declaration of Independence is part of US law, but you have figured it all out?
"A" is the first letter in the English alphabet.
Two simple statements; easy to understand; easy to confirm.
I personally don't understand the difficulty there, but my experience in life leads me to accept that it is guaranteed that there are lawyers, judges and lawmakers whose opinions and actions indicate that they may not understand that the Declaration is part of US law. As support, we can look to the US's history with slavery, where we clearly see that the beliefs, agenda or motivations of those in positions of authority indicate utter blindness (at best; indifference at worst) to the truths in the Declaration. Even many of the the crafters of the Constitution had to have their arms twisted to provide for those truths in that document, which is why bill of rights is an amendment—when it should have been Article 1! The truth, then, is that human beings think about, understand and value such principles far less than they would claim they do, unless and until it is their own interests in the crosshairs. Then their interest and understanding are claimed to be expert-level sharp. Though I've heard people whose rights were on the chopping block defend the idea that their natural rights come from government! "Easy come, easy go." I wonder how many such persons would be found among those whose understanding is that the Declaration isn't the law?
On this forum, as in other places, I have found it alarming how few Americans defend the Declaration, when it is the most important defense of their rights that exists. Folks treat it like an afterthought; but in the realm of US civics and law, it is God.
