Federal Government Takes Final Step to Suspend Constitution

http://RTR.org | In what can only be considered a tragic irony, the U.S. Senate passed out of the final conference committee the controversial National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, coinciding with the 220th Anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights. Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act otherwise known as the NDAA, provides broad authority for the federal government to use the military in domestic operations in order to detain Americans indefinitely and without trial. Such a move not only whitewashes the natural rights of Americans, whereby even publicly criticizing the federal government can now rise to the purposefully vague definition of a "belligerent act", it also sits in direct violation of "Posse Comitatus" an 1878 law forbidding use of the military at home and against Americans. Here are Congressman Paul's remarks on the bill: [ROLL PAUL CLIP]

As Congressman Paul stated, the bill requires absolutely no supporting evidence to issue the order of detention, instead leaving it up to the whim of the Executive Branch to act as Judge, Jury, and in some cases having already decreed the power to assassinate Americans earlier in the year, executioner.

The danger behind allowing any law that includes such arbitrary terms, as "belligerent act" simply cannot be overstated as the Department of Homeland Security has already published multiple reports labeling those who support the Constitution or protest the FEDERAL RESERVE to be "domestic belligerents" and thus in the eyes of the federal government a threat to National Security.

Even more disconcerting is the level of pompous disregard elected members of Congress show as they arrogantly eradicate the foundational principles of America, trampling upon the very ideals that helped spark the first American Revolution, with Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina recently stating during debate in the Senate:

"Please know, what will come your way: Death, Detention, and prosecution. And when they say, I want my lawyer, you tell them shut-up, you don't get a lawyer."

Further, Democratic Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, one of the bill's primary sponsors who drafted the original version in secret along with Republican Senator John McCain, states The Obama Administration specifically requested Section 1031 of the bill be expanded to include the indefinite detention of Americans, threatening to veto the bill if it failed to encompass citizens and non-citizens alike.

However one member of Congress has openly stated that the Military should "NOT comply" if the order comes down to arrest ANY American on American soil. Here is Rep Justin Amash last night on Fox Business Andrew Napolitano's show, FREEDOM WATCH:
[ROLL CLIP]

According to the group "OPEN CONGRESS" an organization that tracks federal legislation, the bill receives private-sector support mainly from those involved in the receipt of military contracts, such a Honeywell. Honeywell, a company historically known by the public as a manufacturer of thermostats for heating and air conditioners, is in reality one of the largest U.S. military contractors, with revenues of over $4 billion and enthusiastically supports this draconian piece of legislation.

Thus, this bill now puts everyone whether Tea Party member, Occupy Wall Street protestor, Son or Daughter of the modern Liberty movement in the crosshairs of a federal government who sees the Constitution as an encumbrance upon their absolute and unquestionable rule.

With the bill now clearing both House and Senate conference committees as of this yesterday, the only hope at this point to halt the legislation from becoming law is for Patriotic Americans to flood the White House with telephone calls, emails, and faxes demanding this President not sign the bill into law. Please melt the White House Switchboard and comment line right now.

While Americans have been led to believe that Obama will sign the legislation there is still the chance that he may veto the law to gain approval with the American people. Whatever the reason, to preserve liberty or to gain favor. Let us hope and pray that our efforts are successful and that he does veto this bill.
Again the numbers to call are:

this is fucking bullshit. If you want to get rid of all the terrorists in the world, start with our corrupted government

[dethbyblender13]

I want Lindsey Graham and John McCain sent to Gitmo for this treason.

[flakeyF00nt]

US military have no right arresting americans on american soil, MUCH LESS FOREIGNERS ON OTHER COUNTRIES. I fucking hate this american mentality as if they are superior and the others are a lesser race. You are only outraged because it now applies to US soil, but when it comes to arresting brown people in the middle east and maybe torturing them, you are ok. GET OFF OTHER COUNTRIES' LAND AND SEA. Go back you usa you fucking imperialistic people.

@SingingSabre I am fully aware of Ron Pauls voting record, and ever bill he has sponsored, along with all he has co-sponsored. Perhaps if you would back up your ignorant response with some references to support your fallacious rants regarding Ron Pauls voting record and legislation; rather than slinging generalizations you might actually be informed enough to participate in a debate. Hint, look up what constitutes a debate before you make an even bigger fool of yourself responding

lighting up the switchboard is USELESS my friend. How many times have they done garbage like this in the past 3 years with us flooding the lines to no avail, they simply DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS ANYMORE BECAUSE WE ARE NO LONGER THEIR BOSS,. THE UNITED NATIONS IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY'S CONSTITUTION IS RUN UNDER. The time to have stopped all this was when Bush was in office and the coup started on 911

@MrPenguinslayr Have you heard of Oathkeepers? They are an organization of military patriots dedicated to upholding the Constitution, stating the exact same thing you are. They will refuse orders if it is against the Constitution and they are really growing!!!

[Gooberson45]

I will not be overcome by this bullshit even if it does take another revolution...

[Gooberson45]

So if we are all gonna be viewed as terrorist, then who are we protecting? The rich, the elite?

[Hhydrogen4Power]

Maybe you should look into yourself YOU voted for this administration. If your a true red blooded american that stands behind the consttution then you have nothing to worry about. It's election time remember it's a ploy. David A. Puchta

As A side joke, I think I remember this from somewere, were was it. O ya!

Government(In some far off unknown planet)-"So are you going to give us your c0nstitutional rights or are we going to have to take them from you by force!"

People of said "unknown planet government:0.0

Peace though Knowledge

[DeaddudeRS]

Even if it is law, I would hope for Law enforcement,US military and the American people all togther do what they truly think is right. If the people of America refuses to follow a law they think is truly unjust, including the enforcers themselves, government is left without mulse and just a group of politicians. Remember government, you work for and represent us, The American people, with the constitution as guidelines for the US government and the people of America.

Peace though knowledge

@MrPenguinslayr There are no words that I can say to express my gratitude. Keep it up, fellow patriot!
