The range rights given as an incentive to settle the West would be part of the conditions of the Deed contract signed by Bundy's forefather. These range, or land usage rights are inheritable, and the contract itself stipulates who the payment should be made to.

The fact the BLM tried to impair the obligation of this contract by stepping in the middle and demanding payment for the land based on a contract it was NOT a party to, is, itself, Unconstitutional under Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1: .......or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts

Thank you. I've not seen anything about how the grazing rights have been treated historically.

I know. Almost everything I’ve seen is about how ‘he’s a freeloader and should pay like everybody else’. They truly don’t realize he ISN’T like ‘everybody else’ because of the history behind his landholding.
