Sounds as crazy as that talk about "alter or abolish it."

No, those are two completely different things and it is illogical to conflate them.

The Founders were not whackjobs who bought into "sovereign citizen" horsehockey.

They had spent plenty of time engaging with the British government and insisting on their actual, documented, constitutional rights, only to have every avenue blocked to them.

So they then did the hard work of forming committees of correspondence to address their problems.

Mr. Bundy doesn't actually have a right to graze his cattle for free on our land.

He made that up.

There is no such right.

But he was given the runaround by bureaucrats and he does have a right to be mad.

He is entitled to his own opinion. But he is not entitled to his own facts.

Isn’t Bundy saying he will pay the State...just not the Feds?

Nevada is an open range state and the law is unclear about this, but there have been cases where grandfathering in is accepted by the courts. In the last 20 years I believe.

When the feds come and tell you how to maintain your home I hope you step up and obey.

Hello!

From what I've read, Bundy had paid NEVADA for years what they determined was fair.

When the FEDs decided that THAT wanted the money; he stated he had NO contract with them, but with NEVADA.

NEVADA refused to take his money.


So here we are today.
