WASHINGTON (Rooters agency) – In a surprising (to some) move, the Supine Corpse (SCOTUS), the United States’s top judicial body, has agreed to hear an English lawsuit seeking to invalidate the Declaration of Independence and return the USA to the sovereignty of London.

The suit was filed by several Barely United Kingdom lawyers shortly after the SCOTUS ruling that Once and Future President Ronald Dump can do “whatever the hell he pleases, because he’s the boss.”

The BUK lawyers emphasize that the Declaration states plainly that “the necessity which constrains” the colonies to declare independence is “the present King of Great Britain[’s] … history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”

According to the lawsuit, the SCOTUS decision recognizes that “the Chief Executive, or King, cannot be required to answer violations of law, let alone mere injuries and usurpations.” Furthermore, it adds, there is no US law against “absolute tyranny.”

It follows, the BUK lawyers continue, that none of the North American colonies “had any standing, at that or any later time,” to hold George III to account for any of his official actions, however tyrannical some people might have thought them. Therefore, the Declaration of Independence, being based on a blatantly illegal fiction, was invalid.

While it is not known how the SCOTUS will eventually rule in the case, a possible indication was contained in a casual remark of Justice Sampling Allthings accidentally recorded by a TV journalist: “My wife says it sounds good to her.”
