It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to discover whether or not your elected officials are more interested in government power over the people or in using their own authority in the defense of liberty. But HB399, the New Hampshire Liberty Act, may provide us with a window into the heart of those currently serving.
HB399 seeks to prohibit federal enforcement of indefinite detention without due process. This should seem like a no-brainer. No matter who happens to be in the majority, no one should ever want their leaders–no matter how unlikely–to have the power to sweep people up in the dark of night and detain them without due process, for as long as they like.
Or are New Hampshire Democrats OK with that?
