Amy Coney Barrett quote "Declaration of Independence" "it's not law": Amy Coney Barrett States on C-SPAN Interview that the Declaration of Independence is Not A Legal Document

For example, here is how Justice Amy Coney Barrett responded to a question by Senator Ben Sasse about the role of the Declaration during her confirmation hearing:

The Declaration of Independence is an expression of our ideals, expression of our desire to be free from England. It’s not law, however…. [T]he Constitution is our foundational law and our governing document. And, while the Declaration of Independence tells us a lot about history and about the roots of our Republic, it isn’t binding law.

My point is not to single out Justice Barrett for special criticism. I quote her because this instinctive diminution of the Declaration as our founding document is such a fixture of thought for some conservatives that it rolled smoothly and eloquently off her tongue.
