Before Bundy Ranch - What happens when constitutional vigilantes go mainstream

Slate ^ | April 23, 2014 | Jared A. Goldstein teaches constitutional law and environmental law

They do not recognize the federal government’s constitutional authority to manage public lands within a state, and they believe the move against Bundy results from a corrupt political system determined to deprive the people of their rights.

The ONLY winner (so far) is Godwin!

[Elsie]

CN U SAY THS N 140 CHRS?

[Elsie]

At that point are they vigilantes or patriots?

We all know THIS answer!

The 'patriots' are yesterdays 'freedom fighters' IE, the winners.

Sorry, Slate, but it was the government that came with guns.

[PubliusMM]

“And it comes with guns.”

Yep. The guns brought by the BLM JBT’s. To which the ‘vigilante’ constitutionalists brought their own.
Because it doesn’t make sense to bring a knife to a gunfight.

Just sayin’

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And it comes with guns.

Never mind the weaponizing of every feral government agency from dogcatcher on up. Armed IRS agents are good.

[Jack Hammer]

Ask George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams... mainstream constitutional ‘vigilantes’ all.

[sport]

Neither Bundy or any of the other ranchers would win, no matter how strong their case or how weak the Government’s , in an Clinton or Obama Court. thy would be in a kangaroo court.

That picture, I can’t imagine that happening, yet I see it coming, it’s scary.

[JimRed]

Funny, I saw a lot of footage from the standoff, but not one instance of Patriots “waving guns at federal officials”.

Could somebody be lyin’ here, Jared Goldstein?

[Georgia Girl 2]

CWII is going to be a real shock to the Libtards. They may have to actually live under the US Constitution again. :-)

[VRW Conspirator]

...to protect the people and the states from the government...

That picture, I can’t imagine that happening, yet I see it coming, it’s scary.

It seems there is nothing new under the sun...

 

 

 

We again warn our people in America of the constantly increasing threat against our inspired Constitution and our free institutions set up under it.

The same political tenets and philosophies that have brought war and terror in other parts of the world are at work amongst us in America.

The proponents thereof are seeking to undermine our own form of government and to set up instead one of the forms of dictatorships now flourishing in other lands.

These revolutionists are using a technique that is as old as the human race—a fervid but false solicitude for the unfortunate over whom they thus gain mastery and then enslave them.
