> An Appeal to the "Supreme Judge of the World"

That’s also in the Declaration, not the Constitution, and also does not include the author’s description of omnipotence.

> Like I said, most of the commentators aren't even from America.

That’s...both unsupported and a particularly bizarre ad hominem, but I am an American (and, probably more relevant, have a degree in political science with a course of study focussed on the American system), but its not like the main problem claims about the US system here require particular expertise beyond, you know, reading the readily-available text of foundational documents.

> But they sure are commenting like they were.

I’m not sure what “commenting like they were [Americans]” means in this context.

"(the Declaration of Independence, which still doesn’t make this specific claim—it does reference rights being endowed by a Creator, but does not specifically attribute omnipotence to that Creator)".

I'm sure the reference was to Supreme Judge of the World, and no omnipotence. You need to write more carefully.
