Yep, they've pretty much made an art form out of it.
Thanks for the tip on the book, BTW. I love reading the older ones. They always seem more factual than fictional, donchaknow. :-)
The feds, though, are being accused of taking the court orders way too far.
On a Friday night conference call, BLM officials told reporters that “illegal structures” on Bundy’s ranch — water tanks, water lines and corrals — had to be removed to “restore” the land to its natural state and prevent the rancher from restarting his illegal cattle operation.
However, the court order used to justify the operation appears only to give the agency the authority to “seize and impound” Bundy’s cattle.
“Nowhere in the court order that I saw does it say that they can destroy infrastructure, destroy corrals, tanks ... desert environment, shoot cattle,” Houston said.
They also claim he now owes them $640 Million.
