An Illegal law is a law that that contradicts and or breaks the content/authority of a higher law, thus causing it to be illegal.
The NDAA is a new law that allows the detainment of Americans indefinitely. There is no warrant required for this detainment to take place and no speedy trial or hearing allowed. This law clearly breaks the 6th amendment in every way possible, thus causing it to be an illegal law since the Constitution is of higher authority and the Supreme Law of the Land.

Illegal Laws are laws that violate the constitution are thus invalid laws that shouldn't be followed or adhered to, like laws against the consumption of marijuana or other drugs. Any laws that are victimless crimes such as most drug laws, laws against consensual sex between same-sex couples, laws that prohibit private gambling, laws that make public nudity a crime, or any other rights protected by the constitution are illegal laws, are unconstitutional, and are thus invalid.
