Dang, ya made me learn something again today.

"It appears that we have lost our court system. It is no longer available to the masses. Expense and time generated by ridiculous laws and rules of procedure move the court system out of the reach of those who need it the most. It addition, far too many judges have forgotten the Constitution, a grave omission tantamount to treason."

On that point we agree completely. One one hand, I don't see the Constitutional power of the federal government to own this land. We could spend the rest of the weekend listing things the federal government doesn't have the Constitutional authority to do and we wouldn't exhaust the list.

On the other hand, we have Marbury v. Madison, a boot-strapping assumption of power by the federal judiciary. Yet, someone has to interpret federal laws and the Constitution. How should these be done?

Full support of Cliven Bundy doesn't mean chasing the BLM away from the old Bunkerville allotment, or passing legislation to take this power away from the BLM. It requires stripping away centuries of legal precedent established by Marbury v. Madison. The federal judicial law opposing Mr. Bundy predates the BLM and the Taylor Grazing Act.
