Was Weissmann involved? He loves to cheat.
Actually, for all the faults of the 9th COA, they are generally very good on cases like this; much better than several “conservative” COAs.
If you were to be falsely convicted based on prosecutorial misconduct, you really want the 9th Circuit to hear the appeal.
They’re still very liberal. The balance is getting closer, and we are getting more and more 3 judge panels with 2 reasonable judges. It’s still 16-13, and the GW appointees are often squishy. If Trump is reelected, he will certainly flip it during his 2nd term.
Why do USAians have to pay government fees to use USA land? It is land held in common among us. Our fathers free-ranged for all of our history until DC took the land. Why does DC own massive pieces of the states land? Since when was DC given power to seize or be given the lands of our states? How few know our actual laws, heritage and common laws. DC is a foreign power to USConstitution and We-The-People.
DC owns DC, federal court land, federal military bases and a few other pieces of land, lawfully. No authority for most of what DC has decided to do. Broke their charter, created by We-The-People and the individual states.
Thanks for the info... Will keep it in mind... Particularly since we live in Maryland, the country's capital of "misconduct" of all kinds...

That was Lavoy Finnicum, from the Malhuer Bird Refuge occupation in Oregon in support of the Hammonds who were also persecuted by the BLM.
“Was that a herd of pigs flying past my window?”
Small pigs.
What they did to the Bundys is so bad, so over the top corrupt, so Obama administration thuggish, that even the 9th couldn’t whitewash it.
Those people are all still there. If anyone thinks they changed their minds, get real. They still think they’re the new American Aristocracy and we’re just their serfs, working the Manor Lands for them. Tribute is still required.
ah
thanks
Not a valid analogy.
The chop folks hijacked buildings, businesses, and streets, that were in use by other rightful owners. They threatened, and extorted from the residents, and denied them unabated travel.
Bundy grazed cattle. That means they ate grass, that grows back. He didn’t deny anyone the use of “our” land, or impede their travel.
I say the gov’t has no business owning any land, other than monuments, admin. buildings, and D.C.
Unfortunately, good lawyers work for private firms or themselves. Bad ones work for the government.
Well, that'll happen when the BLM and other government entities decide they, and not the people, own much of the West.
Yup. Do you think people in, for instance, Maine would put up a fuss if the feds and the state government owned and controlled 70 percent of the state? (Think of Nevada.) Somehow I think their attitude about the BLM and where their animals are allowed to graze would change quickly.
Oh yes....General Flynn.
The Bundy case is only relevant in Nevada. Everyone else can go pound sand. /sarc
The feds claim 87% of Nevada!
Bundy’s grazing rights predate BLM.
It’s not the simple black/white issue so may want it to be for convenience and rush to judgement.
I think there is another non-federal side to the story.
You’re full of it.
From what I recall, his position was that his family had been using that land for grazing from well before the BLM was even created.
