So... what you are asking is 'which would you prefer to have, the rights or the declaration?'

I'm not entirely sure that I'd 'prefer' to have either (though obviously 'the rights' - being so numerous and significant and entwined at the deepest levels of our current economic and national reality - would have to be considered in a much more careful and thorough way then this... and by many, many other people other then myself, who's opinions I'd want to consider before arriving at a personal opinion), while the 'declaration' - albeit it being a decision of the SUPREME COURT - is never-the-less just a piece of paper... and so a lesser matter then such a large thing as 'the rights'.

Possibly though, it would be much more APPROPRIATE (we supposedly being a constitutionally governed 'nation of laws') for such a broad and significant statement of rights to be located in our supreme legal document --- the U.S. Constitution....
