It has no legal standing whatsoever. And the legality (or rather the Constitutionality) of a SC decision is the subject of this thread.

_____The Constitution was the second attempt at setting up the rules and regulations for the US..the first was the Articles of Confederation...but the founding
document was the decision of the Continental Congress to declare an American republic..and that decision of was recorded in the Declaration...outlining the basic principles of the nation.

I was above all the law that followed...and it defined the rights listed in the Constitution as deriving from "nature and nature's God."

The DOI was a rhetorical not a legal document. And if you want to go by what Jefferson himself actually thought (he disapproved of the Constitution as a whole I believe....thought it gave too much power to the Fed) he was opposed to celebrating Thanksgiving because he thought it was too religious. And I can bring up the Treaty of Tripoli while we're at it which states that we are not a Christian country.
