No, the Bundy ranch was composed of 150 acres which they owned and more acreage that they grazed on. This is a common configuration out West. The US government has owned the land since Nevada became a state.

The US government gets to make the rules on how to use US Government land. The date of when the administrative / management arm was created is irrelevant. BLM does not own the land the US Government does.

Correct, they are managing it.
I’d be looking sideways at the neighbors. I wonder if someone complained because they were paying the fees and this guy wasn’t.

“BLM does not own the land the US Government does.”>>>>>>>>>>> And the US Sheriff is?? Eric “MY PEOPLE” Holder??? /s

Obama has a pen and a phone. That is his idea of the rule of law. Holder has been found in contempt of Congress, and contempt of court. Argue all you want about the rule of law, it no longer exists.

What did your precious rule of law do for the Weaver family? What did your rule of law do for the Branch Davidians? Who went before a jury for using a tank to smash and burn 86 men, women and children alive?

The ABA tried to get a count of federal laws. They could not. In the USA today laws are to punish political enemies, while protecting political allies.
