That's what I figured, nonsensical sophistry.
You do understand that when you resort to name calling when you are confronted with facts, if that is the best you have to offer, you have already lost the debate.
Further you do realize that in addition to docks and repair facilities that there is a Coast Guard auxiliary at Lake Mead? Also, as for “other needful buildings” how about Hover Dam? I would certainly consider Hover Dam a needful (power production for one) building.
Remember the first rule of debating. The one to start calling names has lost the debate.
Ask him who that land is held for, under what, and who manages it. All unconstitutional.
So, if that land is held as a trust, for the American people, and it is managed by the BLM. Then is it held for the Bundys since they are American?
If I were the Judge in this case, and as the Bundys say, that they own that land. I would say. OK, then since 1993 you owe taxes on that land to your state/local government. If you pay an average of those years taxes by said date, then you will get clear title to that land.
But a Judge cant do that..because it is considered BLM land. Question then becomes, who the hells land is it? Answer, if the state of Nevada never gave that land to the federal government, then it is the state of Nevadas land. If not Nevada, then the people.
