Arizona officially condemns federal kidnapping under NDAA
PHOENIX (April 25, 2012) – A resolution condemning indefinite detention without due process provisions written into the National Defense Authorization Act completed its journey through the Arizona legislature, garnering strong support in the House last week.
The House passed SCR1011 on April 18 by a 38-18 margin.
By passing the resolution, the Arizona legislature takes an emphatic stand against unconstitutional provisions in the NDAA.
That the Members of the Legislature condemn sections 1021 and 1022 of the 2012 NDAA as they purport to repeal posse comitatus and authorize the President of the United States to use the armed forces of the United States to police American citizens, to indefinitely detain persons captured within the United States without charge until the end of hostilities as purportedly authorized by the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, to subject persons captured within the United States to military tribunals, and to transfer persons captured within the United States to a foreign country or foreign entity.
