A Virginia proposal that declares state workers and resources will be unavailable should Barack Obama decide to exercise provisions in the newest National Defense Authorization Act regarding the detention of U.S. citizens has begun moving forward again.
House Bill 1160 was adopted by lawmakers last month, and the deadline for Gov. Bob McDonnell to address the controversy arrived last night. A spokesman in his office told WND today the governor recommended some adjustments to the proposal, and its chief sponsor in the statehouse says those will be made, and it then is expected to become law.
The bill addresses several obscure sections of the NDAA of 2012, which was signed into law by Obama in December. Those sections appear to allow unlimited detentions by U.S. military forces and federal law enforcement agencies of even U.S. citizens without charges or a court hearing.
The federal plan targets citizens who are classified as belligerents, or who are suspected of involvement in terrorist activities, and the chief sponsor of the Virginia plan, Delegate Bob Marshall, told WND that he was alarmed to find out that Obama specifically had wanted that section included in the law.

Everyone should contact your congressmen about this...Obama can ram it through via his Democratic Socialists of America and Marxist in our congress if WE don't try and stop it.
This Monster in the White House is the scariest personality to emerge in North America in its entire recorded history.
So what is the status of H0lder’s suit against AZ?
That’s right Barack. You can piss up your little muslim rope if you think every state in the union will abet your nefarious schemes.

This US citizen will resist by any and all means necessary this unConstitutional act.
Memo to the JBT: If you come for my neighbor then I’m coming for YOU!
President Barack Mugabama
Worthless scum all of them. They ALL MUST GO!
I agree - they must go. A Republican Congress won't be a "check" on Romney if he miraculously manages to get elected either - if SOTUS doesn't strike down Obamacare, this bunch of wussies won't repeal it. Clean house & term limits ... even that might not do it.
So besides Virginia, the only other states’ legislators that have objected are Arizona, Rhode Island, Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Washington.
Meanwhile my state’s governess (Dem, of course) continues to march with her nose so tightly wedged in the president that all it would take is his hanging a sharp left to snap her neck clean through.
Ostensibly a state judge has ruled in favor of the plaintiffs against the no-guns-outside-the-home-during-a-declared-emergency law, yet he still wanted a sueing party to be able to demonstrate damage before he’d go all in.
And we’re supposed to trust this government, any government, to not use NDAA against citizens standing on the Bill of Rights? Hah!
If the Feds come for me, I will kill as many as possible before being killed.
“This Monster in the White House is the scariest personality to emerge in North America in its entire recorded history.”
Well that monster had a whole lot of republicans with him on this totalitarian crap. Neither party can be trusted with our liberty.
November we have a choice which is no choice at all... Vote for the statist or vote for the statist the outcome will be no different whoever wins.
That would be most of us FReepers...
