The issue “...does the BLM (US Government) own the land and have the legal right to enforce grazing rights (fees)” HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED. The federal court has already ruled that the land is US Government land and not Bundy’s or the county's or the state's. Further, it found that the grazing fees are legal and in accordance with the Tayor Grazing Act passed by Congress before either Bundy or Reid were born.

Any lawyer worth his salt will tell you that trying to overturn such a ruling of fact will be a heroic effort most likely to fail.

It would seem the State of Nevada must come to the courts to get the decision and that decision will ultimately be decided
by the Supreme Court.

If Nevada does not contest the issue, it stands. It may well be that by controlling the BLM, Nevada controls the land
