Doesnt mean they weren’t true.
The Feds have a long history of confiscating private property. It goes back a LONG LONG way. Heck you can go into the Smoky Mountains and see cabins that were forcibly taken from the private owners for no other reason then the Federal Govt wanted it.
The Feds have more lawyers than the average individual. We don’t stand a chance of winning against their onslaught of legal mumbo jumbo.
Okay. That the federal government may have taken land for various purposes in the past doesn’t mean they took Bundy’s land.
My own family was forced to sell land to the federal govrnment because it was too close to the shore of a reservoir in Kansas.
As they have the right to do, if they follow due process.
"nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
We can argue about whether a particular taking is legitimately "for public use" or whether the compensation is "just."
But we can't argue that the government never has a constitutional right to take private property.
