Ron Paul introduces legislation to repeal section 1021 of the NDAA

Statement Introducing Repeal of Sec. 1021 of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012

Mr. Speaker: I rise today to introduce a very simple piece of legislation to repeal the infamous Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act, quietly signed into law by the president on New Year’s Day.

Section 1021 essentially codifies into law the very dubious claim of presidential authority under the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force to indefinitely detain American citizens without access to legal representation or due process of law. Section 1021 provides for the possibility of the US military acting as a kind of police force on US soil, apprehending terror suspects – including Americans — and whisking them off to an undisclosed location indefinitely. No right to attorney, no right to trial, no day in court.

This is precisely the kind of egregious distortion of justice that Americans have always ridiculed in so many dictatorships overseas. A great man named Solzhenitsyn became the hero of so many of us when he exposed the Soviet Union’s extensive gulag system. Is this really the kind of United States we want to create in the name of fighting terrorism?

If so many people can get pissed off about SOPA & PIPA which they should be, they should be even more venomous against NDAA which by far is much much worse. It’s a page from 1984, it’s something that belongs in a Communist country not ours. If you’re American I seriously hope you at least educate yourself on NDAA and fight it’s repeal. Further it’s quite sad so far I see that Ron Paul is the only one fighting against you being detained in-defiantly without due process or a lawyer. Some of you have the gall to call him crazy. Yet where is your bought out Romney on this? Or the twisted Gingrich who embezzled money? Oh what’s that… tumbleweeds…

    And then I no longer had lingering doubts about Ron Paul’s legitimacy. He’s still an insane idiot though.
