I was in an absolute snit when I heard Franklin Graham give his invocation at Bush's inauguration. His opening statement was to some god who was "sovereign" over all of this nation. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and virtually all of the surviving debate that went on during the Constitutional Convention and its subsequent debates during ratification all clearly demonstrate that the revolutionary concept of this nascent republic was that it derives its sovereignty not from God - as manifest in the devine right of kings - but from its people.
