BTW...Here ‘tis...

I would venture a guess that this has been bastardized for so long people have just rolled over and accepted it because no one fought hard enough to nip it in the bud in the beginning...

Because of the “Equal Footing Doctrine,” which supposedly insured that all states were equal in their sovereign power...

Article I, Section 8 specified how the federal government might acquire land and the purposes for which it could be acquired from the states....

I would go on with the idea that the 10th Amendment further declared that “powers not explicitly granted to the federal government” were retained by the states and the people.

So...If there is blame to go around, it could be equally distributed between the Feds (for exploiting and intimidation) and most of the people for not paying attention to these provisions...

I am still looking for the actual parameters where the government can come in and “take”, after the fact, private land, or dictate how YOUR land is managed through ecological statutes or regulations...

That book may be as big as the tax code...

But it may give some people the direction they need to help in finding out these parameters...

Sure, the battle can be fought with guns and vacuous amounts of ammunition...Lots of deaths, lots of injuries on both sides...

And that is what the government wants, because they have the sustainability that the people do not have, much less the outrage, at this point...

I’m not here to argue the point, if there was one presented...But this is what I found and dictated over the last few minutes...

The key here is to tie in and make public outside of this website and the FoxNews crowd, that Harry Reid, his former senior advisor, who is NOW the director of the Nevada BLM...

And that there is rumors of the Chinese wanting to put up a huge solar panel “farm” in that area...

This reeks of eminent domain, but it is being implemented in another way instead of through the normal “due process” procedures...

Just my initial take...
