NC H982

Expresses House opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA), claiming Sections 1021 and 1022 violate the U.S. Constitution and North Carolina Constitution by authorizing military detention, trial, and rendition of U.S. citizens and lawful residents without due process.

Declares that unconstitutional provisions of the NDAA are null and void in North Carolina and prohibits state officers and employees from implementing or enforcing these provisions, with violations subject to disciplinary action up to termination.

Asserts the NDAA violates multiple constitutional protections including habeas corpus rights, trial by jury, Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable seizure, Fifth Amendment due process rights, Sixth Amendment trial rights, and Eighth Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishment.

Calls for repeal of the challenged NDAA sections and urges Congress to pass legislation explicitly prohibiting use of military force, detention, trial, and rendition against U.S. citizens and lawful resident aliens.

Directs transmittal of the resolution to North Carolina's Congressional delegation, the Governor, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to notify them of alleged constitutional violations and potential conspiracy against the United States.
