“On the other hand, the conservatives are correct about another aspect of original meaning. As understood at the time of ratification, the Constitution did not permit the federal government to retain and manage land indefinitely for unenumerated purposes. Massive, permanent federal land ownership would have been seen as subversive of the constitutional scheme. The federal government’s authority to dispose was unlimited (except for trust standards), but its authority to acquire, retain, and manage was not: all the latter functions could be exercised only to serve enumerated powers.”
And that’s why Cliven Bundy is right, no matter how statists may natter about “unpaid fees.”
Bundy needs to give a bumper sticker for a couple dollars contribution to his fees and legal expenses. Something like “I STAND WITH BUNDY”
Bet he’d have all his needs met in no time
