"It is Their Right, It is Their Duty, To Throw Off Such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

Jefferson wrote that into the Declaration of Independence. He was describing what people should do if their government kept doing repeated actions that took away freedom; especially when that government made it clear that they were dloing it as part of a deliberate plan.

And the Declaration was voted unanimously into law, on July 4, 1776. And remains legally binding, just as any other laws passed then or since.

Overthrowing an oppressive government, isn't just a good idea. It's the LAW.

The Declaration of Independence is just that, a declaration. It isn't legally binding to anyone.
 
Then why haven't we done it?

An incredible apathy.

Why don't people fight back against gang violence? Why do people let their little holiday carnivals be taken away from them rather than fight for it? Why do people go along to get along. Why do people say that it's better to find George Zimmerman guilty even if he's innocent just to stop the threat of riot.

We have no backbone. We have neither courage nor convictions. The Americans that lived in 1776 would spit on us today.

It firmly and legally establishes the right and DUTY of citizens of the U.S. to overthrow their government if it becomes too oppressive.

The Obamanites are doing their best to pretend that isn't so.

You would indeed be correct.

"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them."

--Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787
 
The far reactionary right is indeed apathetic, toothless kitty cats, who leech and screech, but will do nothing else. There is no patriotic backbone in the bunch at all.

The Constitution superseded any 'law' as you would like to imagine it, that was in the Declaration of Independence.

Of course it is.

The signers of the Declaration of Independence were fully aware and readily acknowledged that what they were doing was treason.

If treason is lawful, what then?

The usual malarkey from the usual leftists. The Constitution simply set up a new govenment for the nattion. It did not challenge the establishment of that nation... nor did it repeal any of the statements in previous laws.

Including the statements I pointed out.

So once you commit treason and invoke the Declaration of Independence as your legal justification,

in what court to you plan to be exonerated?
 
Flat fact: the Declaration of Independence is not law.

Flat fact: the Constitution is the charter for American governance.
