“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution, are null and void.” -Chief Justice Marshall, Marbury v. Madison.
(Aaron Dykes & Alex Jones – Infowars.com) President Obama quietly waited weeks to sign the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) legislation on New Year’s Eve after publicly threatening to veto the bill that, among other things, authorizes the indefinite detention of American citizens.
Obama’s signing statement tries to reassure observers that he wouldn’t use the “law” to detain citizens, but that is an illusion; his signing statement is meaningless, and the establishment occupying Washington have pulled a hoax on The People in violation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights to enslave them.
But you can’t legalize tyranny. One of the nation’s most well known legal precedents, Marbury vs. Madison, decided in 1803, makes clear that any “law” that is “repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.”
The blatant unconstitutional powers enacted in the legislature and executive branch is backfiring, however. This crowning act of tyranny is awakening people to the true intentions of Big Government in its takeover. The NDAA is so openly in violation of the American way, that Obama had to play lip-service to it in his signing statement language, even as he gave it the power of law.
Critics in the ACLU– by recognizing that Obama’s endorsement for NDAA will “damage both his legacy and American’s reputation for upholding the rule of law”– and the Human Rights Watch– in calling the bill’s passage a “historic tragedy for rights”– have abandoned their comfort zones and attacked the president from the left for crossing the Rubicon on rights, as they rightly should. Now is the time for more to join that call; for Americans of all stripes to speak out against so-called “laws” that enable the blatant political targeting of dissidents and declare a war against the citizens of this country.
Make no mistake, if we sit idly by and let this precedent become accepted– like the Patriot Act, with the appearance of law– more and more unconstitutional legislation will obviously take hold.
