For once I agree with you. The Feds want to literally crush this guy and send a message to all the other cattle ranchers in the west as well as the governors of the Western states.
If Gov Sandoval would just stand up and kick the Feds out of the state to difuse the situation he would be a hero.
WE’d sure like to see a state show some sovereignty and do what you said,
but that would be an unacceptable to the feds. They can’t have any precedent exist where a state trumped the feds’ power in any situation.
There will be someone killed over this, guaranteed.
And probably a whole lot of someones.
And there will be a coverup, with the dead people blamed for causing it.
If Gov Sandoval would just stand up and kick the Feds out of the state to difuse the situation he would be a hero.

There is an opportunity here like Jindal flubbed during the oil spill, and federal diktat to do nothing as it rolled in. A governor with some grit could make a real difference.
The ‘free speech area’ alone justifies incarcerating the lot of the fedcoats. It is proof of their willful actions to abrogate the Constitution.
You're exactly right! I just wish that for ONCE, a Republican governor would tell the feds and any fed judges to just pound sand! It is about time that a Republcan governor or so-called "conservative" would grow a pair of balls and issue an executive order of his own, nullifying any fed rulings against the state's constitutions or legislative laws.
In this particular case, Gov Sandoval should order his state police to disarm the fed BML agents and to escort them out of the state.
