I got that much. It is, after all, the act that guarantees that I get paid.
What I don’t get is what, specifically, about the act that needs to be opposed? Has something nefarious been attached to it?
This bill prohibits the state, political subdivisions, and the national guard from participating in enforcement of the counterterrorism detainment provisions of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act.
In other words, the central socialist government can load up your state with illegal, dangerous alien Democrat voters and you can't do a damned thing about it!
Yes, there definitely was something nefarious attached to it in 2012.
Unlimited detention of American citizens on domestic soil, with no recourse to an attorney. This part of the act has continued in 2013 and 2014.
I’m surprised this was not mentioned.
Not only was it not mentioned, but there is an attempt on this thread to hang all of this around the neck of George W. Bush.
When people became concerned with this part of the act, Obama at first said he wouldn’t sign it. It was passed. He signed it. He then said he wouldn’t enforce it. All those who believe him, raise your hand.
Some prominent left-leaning people brought a suit against this part of the act in New York City in 2012. The judge rulsed against them.
Congressman Amash has been the leading opponent of this provision.
