Bundy has gone ‘round and ‘round in the ocurts over all this, and his argument at this point seems to be to challenge federal jurisdiction in the matter. Makes sense to me. Seems like the feds and speciasl interests have just been running roughshod over cattle ranchers there for quite some time.
Somewhere I read about the details of BLM’s contract they wanted Bundy to sign, and if he had signed it, he would have been finished, as the terms were so restrictive as to put him out of business.
Trouble is, I can’t remember which website, where- but it seemed legitimate.
I will try to go back and find it, might spot it in my browser’s history, but will be tough if it was a post in comments.
