Civil Liberties Defense Act

US Constitution shredded

Most NH House Dems Voted to Allow ‘Suspending’ Constitutional Rights

On April 9, the New Hampshire House voted to pass HB 440, also known as the Civil Liberties Defense Act or CLDA. This bill is a response to the fact that New Hampshire’s emergency powers laws have been interpreted by courts and state attorneys as allowing the governor to suspend constitutional rights during an emergency.
