He should try the Gruber defense. Tell the BLM the law has a bunch of typos in it.

The seeds of this collapse started in the 1890s.
She’d push you into the ovens because it’s the ‘right thing’ to do.
If’n ya wanna hold Bundy”accountable”, mister fed,
you’re gonna hafta do it all sneaky-like
instead of the normal bluster and show of force,
because the latter will be met likewise.
In this particular instance, it started when Congress enacted the Federal Lands and Policy Management Act of 1976.
The first battle in the Sage Brush rebellion was with Wayne Hage when he bought the Pine Creek Ranch in 1978, which was around 7000 acres that he owned and grazing rights on another 750,000 acres of BLM land. I don't recall the numbers but Bundy owns a few hundred acres and leases tens of thounsand acres.
But you are right about the 60s, because that is when Congress first began enacting laws dealing with land, water, and pollution. The Land and Water Conservation Fund was in the 60s as was Wild & Scenic Rivers. But the 70s was when most of them were enacted. NEPA, Clean Water, Clean Air, & Endangered Species to name a few. It was in that same time period that dam building was sharply curtailed. The Ah Pah dam in northern CA was rejected as was the two additional dams on the Colorado River.
Bundy's problem arose over the endangered specie, desert tortoise and came to a head when he moved his stock on to Lake Mead Recreation Area to graze.
It was all co-ordinated to draw attention to the movement in all the western states claiming ownership of these federal lands
Yep.
I agree. Bundy’s cause was the wrong hill to die on.
OK......except he OWES ....nothing
Sally Jewell will be held accountable.
One thing that was never broadly mentioned during the Bunkerville standoff was, the BLM also was interested in the mineral rights for the Bundy Ranch (rare-earth metals which currently have to be purchased overseas) - and it's a sure bet that Harry Reid was aware of it, too.
Always ask, cui bono...
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
But Lerner, Hilliary and the IRS in general can continue to flout the law, and there will be no consequences...
nuts!
I agree. The division in this country is too great to heal. There is no way. At some point half of us are going to pull away from the other half. IMO it may be precipitated by the coming economic crash.
Arrogant, clueless, delusional and ignorant, is no good way to go through life.
But then, that's the qualifications for being an official Obamobot.
Why do I visualize lampposts, every time similar government abuse stories appear?
Are all these people truly that clueless?
"Day of reckoning" and consequences don't exist in their alternate reality?
ZUIT!!
There are 435+50 in Washington DC alone!
Plus 100,000 bureaucrats.
Thank you.
That is what we were told by members of this forum times too many to count. Maybe not in those exact words, but the meaning was clear. And should anyone differ with them, their reply was, Hillary thanks you, Obama thanks you, and they would begin with Hillary and start over again.
They don’t have to be purchased overseas - they are just way cheaper. Molycorp in Nevada has one of the largest rare earth mines in the world and it can’t make money because the markets are flooded with product.
