      Remember when a lot of people got their underwear tied up in knots over a magazine article raising the possibility that there could be another founding than 1776. https://twitter.com/AlisonSomin/status/1316424344189448192 …

      The Founding of the country and whether the Founding document is binding law are not the same thing.

      So the founding document is just a nice piece of rhetoric. Cool.

          ........yes? It was an explanation for why we declared independence. Which is why the Founders expected July 2nd -- the passage of the actual resolution -- to be celebrated. But the unexpectedly soaring rhetoric of the DoI dominated. Jefferson didn't even want to write it.

          DOI is an op-ed. Constitution is where law is decided.

          That’s literally what it is. Dude, seriously? No competent lawyer would tell you the declaration is law. There are reasons to oppose Barrett, this ain’t it.
