Judge Napolitano on Bundy Ranch: "The Most Dangerous Part Of This Is Yet To Come"
RealClearPolitics ^ | April 15, 2014 | RealClearPolitics

JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO: I personally know the sheriff to whom you're referring and I know him to be a person of the highest intellectual honesty. He also has the highest fidelity to the constitution, as do the deputies who work for him or used to work for him. So do I believe that the most dangerous part of this is yet to come.

Look, the federal government has a legitimate valid court order. But they don't have to enforce it by bringing in militaristic techniques. They don't have to enforce it by stealing his private property. They can enforce it by filing a document in a courthouse which will enable them to collect the money to which they are entitled when he dies or when his property otherwise passes to somebody else and they know that.

This whole ‘solar project’ is another Solyndra boondoggle.

HAIRY Reid will funnel $2 Billion of our money into the CEO’s Swiss account, then suddenly the company will declare bankruptcy and vanish from the pages of USAToday taking our $2 Billion with him.

Of that $2 Billion, about $500 Million will be kicked back to Caliphate Inc (aka the Obama regime).

I don't discount your opinion but all we knew about Waco and Ruby Ridge was filtered through the msm. Now virtually everyone has access to truthful reporting.

I do agree about the sheep and that description covers a sizable percentage of the population but, hopefully, not a large majority.

He’s talking about Sheriff Mack.

“I personally know the sheriff to whom you’re referring and I know him to be a person of the highest intellectual honesty. He also has the highest fidelity to the constitution,”

I believe he was referring to AZ Sheriff Richard Mack.

It’s not the money they want, it’s getting the cows off the public land.

He IS the "public"! And his cattle grazing there costs the rest of us NOTHING!

Very true. I was just pointing out that Napolitano’s arguement that they could use liens is specious because the BLM doesn’t care about the $$$, what they want (because they are staffed by envirals and Reid is beholden to big dollar contributors that are envirals) is those cows off the public land in question.

I think Kornze may have approved this whole stupid flash bang round up to demonstrate his power to both the locals and his homies and was caught off guard by the unexpected size of the response and push back.

So now he has two problems, the bad PR and the fact that he now looks like an ineffective commissar to the elites who place him in his sinecure.

Make that 3 problems because the cows are still home on the range.

The only thing that stops a bully is standing up to them.
This is done, at least until after the Nov. election.

“It’s not the money they want, it’s getting the cows off the public land.”

It might have started out that way, but now the Feds want to make an example of that defiant rancher to scare other Americans into submission when other encroachments against freedom are committed. Another Waco massacre could happen, because each Federal outrage becomes easier to commit than the last. After all, there was no consequence to the last massacre, so why should they worry?

I can’t see them using the IRS, too much stink on that agency already. Internet media would crucify the FedGov/BLM.

So they attach liens to the ranch, so what? A lien doesn’t remove the cows off the range land and doesn’t solve the PR issue.

I can see a contempt of court finding followed by a bench warrant and jailing him till the cows are removed, but I don’t know how they can possibly manage an arrest w/o a militarized assault on the ranch. How’s that going to play out on the news?

The difference between Waco and the Bundy ranch is the internet, social media and the alternative media like the blogosphere. America has other sources of news and information apart from the mainstream media and the evening news.

That’s why they retreated this time, too much public knowledge and involvement.

I don’t know how it’s going to play out, but I do know that this time things are different.

Look at the size of the last officer in your picture (post 8). Very odd. Are they letting children join the INS now? Or perhaps the INS has a junior jackboot program.

Or they have no choice but to hire short women to meet their quotas?
