Assuming you get the document online, cite in text the author last name, if available, or web site name and year; example: The Declaration of independence (as cited in Storm, 2009) states.......

The Declaration of Independence is an example of a founding document of the United States. Others include the Bill of Rights, and the U.S. Constitution.
You should specify which declaration of independence. This site is read by people all over the World. For example, the one from the United States says that "We believe... that all men are created equal, ...", so it does seem to imply that all men are free. However, unlike the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence has no legal status; although it is considered an important document.
The Declaration of Independence itself is not hypocritical, but the people that contributed to the document were hypocritical. Thomas Jefferson, for example contributed to the development of the document stating, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain Unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." However his statement was self contradictory because he owned a slave.
um...the taxes i think
The Supreme Court wasn't existence when the Declaration of Independence was written and it is not used in court cases. It won't exist until 1789. I think you are giving the Declaration of Independence too much emphasis as a document in shaping of the government. As far as slavery goes it depended on who was on the court and the case. An example of this would be the Dred Scott decision. In this decision a slave was classified as property and didn't have any rights.
