It doesn't have anything to do with the constitution. Its about the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.

The first big case to come up after FLPMA was the Wayne Hage case, which set off the modern Sage Brush Rebellion. Previously, it was the Taylor Grazing Act in 1930 that set off the previous rebellion.

These conflicted cases over the grazing leases are few and far between, but, FLPMA also changed the status of the RS 2477 roads so closing of those roads sometimes lead to conflicts. Many old time freepers will probably remember the Jarbidge Road conflict.

No doubt about it, the number of grazing leases and the number of acres grazed has been reduced since FLPMA, but the cow-calf economy in the western states is still huge.

OTOH, there are a lot more recreation areas and campgrounds, coal leases, archeological sites, wilderness areas and wilderness study areas, to name a few. Up until 1976 BLM was small, comprised of the General Land Office and the Grazing Service. After 1976, it has grown to be large

A lot of people don't understand the conflicts that arose out of the Bundy brothers actions in Oregon.

Many say the feds need to give up these lands, but they can't agree as to who gets these lands. Some say County/local control and others say state control.

The Bundy brothers advocated for local/county control which generally means their group was posse comitatus, militia, or sovereign citizens, or some combination there-of.

All western state govts opposed the Bundy Brothers, as did American Land Rights Assoc, Montana Policy Institute, ALEC, the Mormon Church, etc.

ALEC wrote the model legislation that all the western states are using, but Utah is out in front. Utah's Transfer of Public Lands Act went into effect on Jan 1, 2015. But the feds didn't turn over the land, so now Utah has to figure out what their next move will be, or how much taxpayer money are they willing to spend to pursue this in court and/or Congress.

I don’t think it is that the government is acquiring more, it is how they are restricting usage. Public lands are for public use. The people administering those lands seem to think no use is good use.

Your response indicated you believe that no institutional balls equals no justice. That tells me you don’t understand evil and how it works.

It confused you to realize POTUS candidates can work well with the dark side? Where you been?

They kill innocent people every day one way or another. You’ve heard about the invasion, haven’t you? You realize thousands of Americans are dead from drunk drivers alone who are in our country illegally, right? You realize politicians are the reason families are suffering because jobs were taken from them and given to HB invaders, don’t you? You don’t think that contains a measure of evil?

The few previous examples I posted, you think having balls would have changed anything? Well, it did change a general’s job status when he tried to go over his bosses head and send a rescue party to Ben Ghazzi.

Balls work. But as someone pointed out it takes at least 3% of the population going active to get it rolling and up to 33% joining them to be taken seriously. You up to it?

That’s how balls work. You meeting up on the green not you questioning the FBI.

Or getting confused by what should be the obvious.

It doesn't have anything to do with the constitution 1789 - Washington. Its about the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 - Ford.

Code corrupt. Program conflict. Please reset to factory settings.

And what federal or state employee did they prevent from performing their proscribed duties? What exactly was prevented?

“The first of many federal charges. Hopefully, a few decades in a federal prison will knock the piss and vinegar out of the Bundy brothers and their merry band of domestic terrorists.”

That’s a unique perspective. What, shall they do? Drive to DC and discuss the matter over a latte withe their D or R elected officials? Would their elected representative be interested in such discussions, much less assisting in remediation? Perhaps they’ve tried?

Please inform the masses on the proper course of action for the repeated persecution of thy neighbor. I await your brilliance.
