ShareThisNorthampton 'opts out' of federal law --National Defense Authorization Act 'unconstitutional' 17 Feb 2012 (MA) The city of Northampton became the first city in New England to pass a resolution rejecting the National Defense Authorization Act Thursday night. Two particular sections of the Act, signed by President Obama in December, ignited a firestorm of controversy. Sections 1021 and 1022 allow the indefinite military detention of any person, including a U.S. citizen, without a trial. At a city council meeting Thursday night, city leaders and advocacy groups came together to demand a "restoration of due process and the right to trial."
Its a nice statement and gesture, but has no meaning in law. Such Federal Law supersedes local and most State laws [and all 'resolutions'] unless it somehow gets to a Supreme Court decision and we know what fascists that body is composed of now!.....and likely to remain so composed in our lifetimes.
