Post NDAA Nullification: Tennessee Bills Propose Kidnapping Charg
PEOPLE FIGHT BACK

Tennessee Bills Propose Kidnapping Charges for Federal Agents

State and local resistance to the detention provisions contained in the National Defense Authorization Act continues to grow, rapidly emerging as a nationwide movement.

The Tennessee legislature will consider HB1629 and SB2669 in the 2012 session. The legislation would effectively nullify the detention provisions in the NDAA and would also require federal agents making an arrest in the Volunteer State for any reason to first obtain written permission from the county sheriff.

This bill declares that any federal law purporting to require local or state law enforcement agencies to act at the direction of the federal government or the United States military is beyond the authority granted to the federal government pursuant to the United States Constitution, is not recognized by this state, is specifically rejected by this state and is declared to be invalid in this state. This bill further declares that any federal law purporting to give federal agents or employees, including any members of the United States military, the authority of any state or local law enforcement agency of this state, without the express permission of this state, is beyond the authority granted to the federal government pursuant to the United States Constitution, is not recognized by this state, is specifically rejected by this state, and is declared to be invalid in this state.

The act takes aim at indefinite detention provisions in the NDAA. Tenth Amendment Center communications director Mike Maharrey called language in the NDAA vague and overbroad, pointing out that Americans should never simply trust in the good intentions and moral clarity of the president or federal judges to protect their rights.

“It falls on the states to step in and protect their citizens,” he said. “I can’t imagine a more clear-cut application of state and local interposition as a check on federal power. What could be a more palpable, deliberate and dangerous unconstitutional act than the federal government indefinitely detaining an American citizen without due process?”

The Tennessee bill also “makes it a Class E felony for any official, agent, or employee of the United States government to enforce or attempt to enforce any federal law, order, rule or regulation that is beyond the authority granted to the federal government pursuant to the United States Constitution,” and includes provisions for kidnapping charges if a federal agent were to detain a U.S. citizen in Tennessee under the NDAA.

Rep. Bill Dunn (R-Knoxville) and Rep. Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) sponsor the House version of the bill. Sen. Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville) sponsors the Senate bill.

The Volunteer state joins Washington and Virginia considering legislation to nullify detention provisions in the NDAA. And local governments have also stepped up, including El Paso and Fremont Counties in Colorado. While some argue the NDAA doesn’t apply to American citizens, Maharrey said that notion should not stop state and local governments from following James Madison’s admonition to interpose and draw a line in the sand.

“If what supporters say is true and the NDAA does not authorize indefinite detention of Americans, what is the harm in this legislation? Why would anybody oppose it? It does nothing but serve notice that state and local officials will not sit back and allow the federal government to exercise unconstitutional powers – powers supporters claim don’t exist anyway. It simply affirms a fence that supposedly already exists. The only rational I can find for opposing this bill is if they really do want the option of detaining Americans without due process to remain open,” he said. “You can only oppose this legislation if you accept the idea that the federal government has the authority to do whatever it wants with absolutely no check on its actions – Constitution be damned. If you ask me, that’s a lot scarier than whatever terrorist threat they claim to be protecting me from.”

TAC executive Michael Boldin said he expects other states to soon follow the lead of Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.

“We have pretty strong indications that Rhode Island, Utah, Maine, New Jersey, Oklahoma and other states will be introducing similar legislation soon. This is just a start – and activists all over the country need to contact state legislators right now to voice their support.”

As I can appreciate good people trying to stop the Takeover with the very same system that is being used against them, I see it as a viscous circle. The Federal govt has already undermined any State rights through careful legislative building during the entire twentieth century. They have destroyed any spirit or legal leg to stand on. They have done this by keeping the appearance of a living body. Much the same way cancer eats the body internally....

The states have little choice but to make laws to protect themselves from the insanity of the federal government.

That sounds about right for a "Fall of Rome" scenario.

The bad news is -- we're goin' down....

The good news is -- what we build after the system implodes.

Well what mockery we show by going into our Free speech Zones or Good leaders at the State level bringing papers of justice are efforts none the less. But lets not quibble about the Reality of the situation. The intended imploding will bring us into a well balanced Martial Law with entitled Party Zones for the ones who tow the line. If we do get some type of Libertarian movement that is only to trap us more into a Lie...Much like the Ron Paul scenario....Thats just my take on things...

Good point. The system implosion is clearly orchestrated, which implies that the system rebuild will also be orchestrated by the same sick sociopaths. That is something we surely don't want, because whatever rebuild the sociopaths envision will not be in our best interests.

It will be the most tyrannical Empire ever in our timeline. Guised In Philanthropy with the Power of an Iron Cross. A boot stamping on the face of true freedom whilst embraced as the Homeland of Justice and Mercy. A true path of post humanism, cybernetics and cognitive dissonance. In fact it will be a complete amalgamation of Evil using us as the Volunteers... The Great Work....

The system break down is way behind schedule. Too many people are now awakening to have the full impact they so desired. Keep informing the public, that is what these forum are about.
