> “...that land becomes property of the government.”
No, it does not become the property of the conqueror. It becomes a territory in terms of jurisdiction, of control.
Read the treaty, it is clear that property of any kind would be respected along with rights.
It does not matter if property at the time of the treaty was owned by Bundy. Bundy family bought property from someone and the rights to the property and the grazing rights were all covered under US law which also includes the treaty.
If I buy property 100 years after a treaty, all the rights accorded the original property owners pass to me.
What federal agencies like the BLM have done is to grab land, a ‘land grab’ which the EPA and BLM often does on a pretext of protecting some cross-eyed mouse or red-spotted lizard. But in my experience there is often some NWO environmentalist Soros-funded leftist ideologue behind such grabs. And such grabs seem to be much more frequent and egregious when democrats control the executive branch.
On a related topic I just heard today that the only thing holding oil from crossing the border between the USA and Canada is a presidential permit note. I was told that environmentalists told Obama that if he oks that presidential permit they will crucify him.
How is that a problem? Sounds like a win-win.
