I have appeared before that court. Judge McKibben is an honorable man and a hard working judge. But I am shocked and alarmed to read the report of this trial. I have litigated a case involving the Taking Clause through a decision by the U. S. Supreme Court, and have seen that the Justice Department and other federal counsel will go to outrageous lengths to get around Constitutional limitations. But this seems to be another low point in the continuing effort of the federal government to have totally unrestrained power against its own citizens. Thank you for informing us.

"Thank you for informing us."

Your thanks should be directed to "brityank." All I did was grumble some more. I certainly enjoyed your comments about your experiences... tell us more, please.

What can you tell us about the popular State AG in NV, Del Pappa. She's been no help whatsoever!!! IMHO

He's also a pretty good carpenter. I know because 43 years ago he helped build my parents' house in Illinois and it is still in good shape. His father was the Superintendent of schools in my hometown and the judge was well liked and had/has an impeccable reputation there. I am aware of at least one very high profile case that he handled very well and very fairly from all reports.

Freepers shouldn't blame the judge for the fact that the Constitution is riddled with vagaries and internal inconsistencies. I have some sympathy for the cattle ranchers, but the only solution is to sell all government land to the highest bidder.
