Was there any uproar about this in 1984?

Interesting, now all of a sudden, they want to grab more land. I don't understand how they got away with this in the first place. When Texas became a State I thought part of the agreement was the Federal gov't couldn't grab land.

IIRC this case involved State border definition. Since the border is a river, it is constantly being reshaped and property lines become fluid, pardon the pun.

I have not seen as of yet the legal justification for the BLM taking this land. Can’t even find details of the Henderson court case.

I’ll stick my neck out, and say it’s all about controlling the cattle industry by our Leftist saturated government run by entrenched Leftists in support of one of the many tentacles of the agendapus. The agendapus is of course the giant squidlike thing the Leftists celebrate, and sacrifice all the rest of us to.

The goal is to control, eliminate those nasty, smelly methane creating cattle by driving the ranchers out of business, making the price for a burger that of a steak just like they are forcing the price of gasoline up to eliminate the infernal combustion engine.

Being Leftist must be similar to having severe cataracts. I have been there, but thanks to the VA I can see again. The Leftists apparently cannot.

The internet wasn't at everyone's fingertips back then.

Removing states rights is just part of the big picture if anything of worth on the land gas oil gold silver the feds will obtain it.
Total control is the goal.

What use will the government make of this land? I fail to see any benefit to the government taking this land other than to exercise its power. In the case of the Nevada rancher I think there was some nefarious purpose in wanting this land ..likely by Harry Reid and his cronies in some scheme. In this Texas case again what is the government's intent?

I have heard that the BLM takes over the "Management of the land" in certain cases like intra-family disputes or in cases where the government has a compelling need.
At some point it changes to the government loaning the land to you and later renting it to you and finally to evicting you.

they came out and inspected the land and said it was all here, surveyed it, and forced me to buy a title policy.

The word "title" is defined is defined in my Webster's Dictionary as ... "7. Law ... c) a right to ownership esp of real estate d) evidence of such right of ownership e) a document stating such a right; deed

There's no way in Hell that Obama's sleezeball politicians, lawyers included, can seize this land without BIG TIME PAYING FOR IT.
