The trial on the Oregon charges for Ammon Bundy and 26 others is expected in September with Ammon, his brothers and father plus others expected to face the Nevada charges from the 2014 Bunkerville standoff next year.

Ammon Bundy was returned to Oregon yesterday after being in Nevada for a hearing on those charges.

Bundy should claim to be BLM and the Oregon protesters would then be let go, even if they burned the place down.

Ammon Bundy's lawyers intend to argue that the federal government doesn't have the authority to prosecute protestors who took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, claiming that the federal government lacks control of the land.

LOL! Yeah, that'll get him really far.

once Oregon became a state, the federal government lost a right to own land
inside the state’s borders, his attorney Lissa Casey wrote

*************

Does the article say what she is basing that conclusion on?

Wonder if Levin will render his opinion about this.

That is, if he can spare some time away from shilling for Cruz.

So Bundy will be challenging the fed .gov types by appealing to a court staffed by fed .gov employees? Not a proposition that I would bet to be successful.

They look after their own.

Interesting. Bundy is giving the courts a chance to enforce the Constitution — something he knows they will not do. That should make it clear that it’s time for WE THE PEOPLE to enforce it.

If you have the law, argue the law.

If you have the facts, argue the facts.

If you don’t have either ....

“Many irrigation projects at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge are behind schedule due to the occupation by armed militants. Thomas Boyd/Staff”

What a helpful little comment to show how evil those occupiers are. Why is the BLM ‘irrigating’ land they want left alone?!

He will lose that one. The Government can do as it damn well pleases, right or wrong.

The federal government can't own property? I see.

Hopefully, Ammon will hire the right lawyer.

Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution provides in part:

"The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State."

It's hard to imagine anyone arguing (more than 200 years into this experiment) that the federal government has no right to own property. It's this kind of "Sovereign citizen" "original thinking" that gets these guys into trouble in the first place.

I’m sorry but the legal strategy of those involved in the Bundy standoff seems wholly inefficient to keeping them out of jail.
