"Every one of us has a constitutional right to protest, to speak our minds," Cruz told reporters in Iowa.

The media are focused on the “Bundy Militia” angle to the standoff in Burns Oregon, where Aamon Bundy and brothers have taken over a Malheur Wildlife Refuge Headquarters to draw attention to the plight of the Hammond family (Full Complex Back Story Here). However, a little research (HatTip NeverTooLate) into the original legal battle reveals a rather startling update.

Even federal...
