The first Bunkerville Standoff trial of six defendants is now in the hands of the jury.

Supporters of the defendants marched outside the federal courthouse in Las Vegas yesterday shouting "jury nullification".

The jury continues its deliberations Monday.

Take note the lead prosecutor in this case Steven Myhre, is now the Acting US Attorney in Las Vegas. He's in that position because the Obama US Attorney has resigned.

Myhre is planning a trial sometime after June 5th this year for a second group of defendants including Cliven Bundy and his sons Ammon and Ryan.

When will Mr. Sessions appoint a new US Attorney in Vegas and shut down the prosecution-persecution of the Bundy's and their supporters?

The question is did the Bundy's steal the use of our federal lands? Yes, they quit paying grazing fees, continued to graze. This prevented the government from leasing that land to other people willing to pay. All the rest is BS and complicates their theft, not excuses it. They are in jail, deserve to be convicted, and sentenced. Someone needs to have a nice steak with their cattle that apparently still graze our public lands.

Now separately, we might discuss (1) federal ownership of the lands (which I think is good), (2) use of those lands (free and paid), which is good, and if paid, should be at value market will bear. Speaking of grazing, there has never been shortage of cattle and sheep ranchers willing to pay.

And these people charged with armed conspiracy, throw the book at them. They were defending thieves, acting as an armed gang. No sympathy for them.

I certainly pray they’ve at least heard the word ... NULLIFY.

“Govt lands”? BLM? Well, I guess it worked for the (native) Indians, right? /s

Doubt the ‘judge’ or prosecutors would allow a reading of the Constitution...

Hedley Lamarr: Wait a minute... there might be legal precedent. Of course! Land-snatching!

Land, land... “Land: see Snatch.”
