AZ SCR1011

Condemns sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) as violations of constitutional limits on federal power.

Opposes the authorization for the President to use armed forces to detain persons suspected of supporting Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces, particularly regarding indefinite detention without charge or trial and military tribunals.

Objects to the absence of explicit protections for U.S. citizens and lawful resident aliens in section 1021, contrasting with section 1022's exemption for citizens from mandatory detention requirements.

Asserts that sections 1021 and 1022 violate multiple constitutional protections including habeas corpus rights, due process, trial by jury, and protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Directs the Arizona Secretary of State to transmit copies of the resolution to the President, Congress leadership, and all Arizona members of Congress expressing opposition to these provisions.
