Federal courts have ruled that Nevada open range law does not apply to federal land because of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Except that the supremacy clause is only for things pursuant to the Constitution itself — in all other cases it is legal nullity [as affirmed by the 9th and 10th Amendments]. Therefore, just because the government says [e.g.] drugs are illegal, does not make drugs illegal — indeed, the Constitution had to be amended in order to make it possible for the federal government to make alcohol illegal.

I apologize for the confusion. I agree with you about federal courts’ extra-Constitutional upholding of increased federal powers.

I thought my statement about Marbury v. Madison gumming up the works revealed how I feel about over-reaching power of federal courts.
