California Liberty Preservation Act Passes Committee 6-0 to Nullify the NDAAselfnews Post Yesterday we announced that Montana has taken the next step with Senate approval by a margin of 43-7 to protect its citizens from indefinite detention, and the measure is only awaiting signature from Governor Steve Bullock. Now California has taken a much-needed step toward rebuking federal overreach. And, once again, the protections afforded by the Liberty Preservation Act are seeing support from a wide spectrum of political interest. The 2012 NDAA applies broad detention power, using terms such as associated forces and substantially supported, allowing the federal government to detain and even execute any person, including an American citizen, on U.S. soil without due process. Sections 1021 and 1022 areparticularlyonerous. The NDAA gives the executive branchunder not only President Obama, but also every future president unprecedented power to detain US citizens without due process . . . This runs counter to the very principles that make America great, and violates our nations commitment to the rule of law. . . The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution authorizes the United States federal government to exercise only those powers specifically delegated to it in the United States Constitution. The Daily Caller notes that even though the bill was introduced by a Republican, it received a unanimous vote across party lines The bill passed the Democrat-controlled committee 6-0 with the support of a wide-ranging coalition that included the American Civil Liberties Union, Tenth Amendment Center, San Francisco 99% Coalition, San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the Libertarian Party of California. Grassroots movements everywhere should be commended for the surge toward liberty, as well large activist centers such as People Against the National Defense Authorization Act, the Tenth Amendment Center, and the Peoples Blog For the Constitution.
