Finally A "Real" New England Patriot Fires First Shot Across The "Bow" Of Obama (citizens, indefinite detention, NDAA, obama, Rep. Daniel P. Gordon Jr., resolution, Rhode Island)

States rebellion against 'indefinite detention' begins‏

Lisbon,
 
Good news! 
 
The first, of hopefully many, State Representatives has drafted a
resolution to reject the President's unconstitutional authority to
indefinitely detain the citizens of his state.
 
It's not much, but it's a start. Let's hope this catches on in
other states.
 
Better yet, let's make sure this catches on in other states...

 The first state to rebel against indefinite detention

Single state defies Obama detention plan

World Net Daily

When Congress adopted and Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, alarms were raised over the possibility that it would allow the indefinite and rights-free detention of those who are called belligerents, even if they are American citizens.

While the argument over those provisions rages, one state lawmaker in Rhode Island has jumped into action to protect the danger he sees for residents of his state, proposing a resolution to exempt his constituents from sections of the federal law.

Rep. Daniel P. Gordon Jr. today told WND he has drafted a resolution, which is being circulated among the lawmakers even now, to express opposition to the sections of the NDAA that suspend habeas corpus and civil liberties.

Sections 1021 and 1022 of the act, signed into law on New Years Eve of 2011, provide for the indefinite detention of American citizens by the military on American soil, without charge, and without right to legal counsel and right to trial, he explained.

Given the fact that the constitutions of Rhode Island and that of the United States are replete with guarantees of individual liberties, right to habeas corpus, and right to freedom of speech, the offending sections of that law are repugnant to the sensibilities of anyone that has a basic understanding of the foundation of this country, he said.

The opinions on the legislation signed by Obama vary. Commentator Chuck Baldwin, who himself has been the target of smears by the Department of Homeland Security-related apparatus, explained the law, for all intents and purposes, completely nullifies a good portion of the Bill of Rights, turns the United States into a war zone, and places U.S. citizens under military rule.
