I think that it’s very useful to have a discussion about federal land policy and how it has been warped in the past 20 years. But, such a discussion ought to begin with an understanding of the evolution of that policy and legal and historical roots.
This incident offers an opportunity to do something about the corruption that has taken hold and to put law and regulation back into their proper role. You’ll have to bone up on it on your own, however, the media and much of the commentary here won’t help much.
I agree with you. The Harry Reid angle on this, and the BLM land grabs elsewhere (Red River, Texas) means there’s more to this entire mess than meets the eye.
I also agree that discussion of policy over the years is helpful. I’m not above nullification, though, if it violates the Constitution. It wouldn’t be the first set of laws and judgments that were simply wrong.
The Court says it’s ok to kill babies.
