Washington state lawmakers seek to make indefinite detention a felony..WTF

OFF THE WIRE

Anyone falsely imprisoned should be set free and those who lied must go away for at least as long as the others' sentence, and all properties given to those they hurt. Watch to see how soon false accusations end.

Most often for petty things too, lives just destroyed. Sinful.

Expected sometime this week is a new bill to be introduced by Rep. Jason Overstreet (R) that would make the indefinite detention of Washington state residents a class C felony.
The bill comes in response to the recent signing of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 that retains the controversial provision found in its predecessor that authorizes the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without charge or trial.
Nadia Kayyali, a legal fellow at the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, warns that the 2013 NDAA "could allow for military detention on U.S. soil by the U.S. military, in violation of the constitutional right to due process and a fair trial, and in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act."
Kayyali adds that this year's version not only reauthorized indefinite detention, it did so without comment from the president or a "weak" amendment seeking to preserve due process that was initially passed through the Senate.
The anti-indefinite detention bill to be introduced will be similar to the "Washington State Liberty Preservation Act" that stalled during the prior session of the Washington state legislature.
That bill sought to "condemn the unlawful detention of United States citizens and lawful resident aliens under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012."
Sec. 2. (14). of the bill boldly stated:

Policing the citizenry of the United States of America by the armed forces of the United States, as purportedly authorized by the 2012 NDAA, is contrary to the fundamental principles of our republic, and is generally repugnant to a free society.

The notable change for this year's bill will be to declare those acts as felonies as opposed to simply condemning them.
A separate but similar bill is also to be introduced in the State Senate by Sen. Bob Hasegawa (D), making it a bipartisan effort.
"This is a very trans-partisan issue, and most Americans agree we need to fight back against the NDAA indefinite detention provisions," says Scott Shock, an organizer for the Seattle Campaign for Liberty.
In order to make this year's bill a success, Shock is calling upon supporters to take action.
"We need to appeal to coalition prospects, and all contacts, to reach out and email and call their representatives to push them to co-sponsor the legislation."
Once a bill is introduced, lawmakers have only an 18-hour window to sign on in support, so Shock is urging activists not to wait.
State legislation nullifying provisions of the NDAA has already passed in three states: Michigan, Virginia and Arizona.
