NH House Passes HB1279 – A Bill Prohibiting Indefinite Detention

Indefinite detention - NH House votes against itSee?  Democrats do know what nullification is for.   So, don’t let them tell you that sort of thing is crazy talk.

CONCORD, N.H., February 7, 2014 –  Yesterday, the (Democrat Majority) New Hampshire house approved a bill which deems federal indefinite detention powers unconstitutional, and bans “any activity that aids” the federal government in carrying out such powers. The approval was by a unanimous voice vote.

New Hampshire House Bill 1279 (HB1279) would add to state law that such acts are violations of both the state and federal constitutions. It reads, in part, “The General Court of New Hampshire and the Governor of New Hampshire hold that indefinite detention or transfer to jurisdictions outside the United States of citizens of New Hampshire in particular and citizens of the United States in general are unlawful pursuant to the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part the First, Articles 15, 17 and 19, and the Constitution for the United States of America, Amendments IV, V and VI.”

an amendment offered by Rep. Dan Itse (R-Rockingham) and Rep. Andrew White (D-Grafton) include not just the 2012 NDAA, but “any other similar law, order or regulation, in the investigation, arrest, detention, extra-judicial transfer to foreign jurisdictions or entities, military tribunal or trial, of any person within the United States.” It also bans participation in indefinite detention under NDAA, but also under “any other similar law, order or regulation.”
