What happened to ‘...Government of the people, by the people, for the people,...’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863.

A great quote indeed, but the G. A. is not a corollary to the Constitution and thus has no judicial weight.

It's kinda like citing the Golden Rule as an extension of the Ten Commandments.

Does this have judicial weight?

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Oops. Your first sentence was correct, but your simile was not. The same God that gave the 10 Commandments also gave the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The underlying Source and Lawgiver was the same in both cases.
