With all due respect, Mr. Bundy is blowing smoke up everyone's collective dresses.  Facts, rather than opinion, can be gleaned from the various court documents which, stripped of emotion, clearly show that Mr. Bundy was originally granted a permit (a so-called "ephemeral permit") to graze the land in question - which is not the private land he owns that adjoins the grazing land in question - and that in 1993 he didn't like the terms on which he was offered a renewal of that permit, so he simply refused the renewal, stopped paying the grazing fees, and continued to graze his cattle on the land in the so-called Allotment.  In 2000 he decided that wasn't enough, so he started grazing his cattle on federal land to which he had never had a permit in the first place.

And there is no such thing as taking adverse possession of lands owned by the sovereign, which in this case is the federal government, so it doesn't matter how long he and his family have been grazing their cattle on federal land, whether with or without a permit.  He has no ownership claim to the grazing land, he is a trespasser, and the federal government is entitled to have him and his cattle removed.

If the admin will allow it, I have copies of some of the other court documents which I can let them upload to the forum's server so everyone can review them.

You are on the federal governments side of this? Seriously? They are turning this into Waco 2.0 and you post this? Who cares, it is about Harry Reid and greed. Are you the latest troll to post here?

US Senator Joins Critics of Federal Cattle Roundup

LAS VEGAS April 10, 2014 (AP)

By KEN RITTER Associated Press
 
A Republican U.S. senator added his voice Wednesday to critics of a federal cattle roundup fought by a Nevada rancher who claims longstanding grazing rights on remote public rangeland about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas

Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada said he told new U.S. Bureau of Land Management chief Neil Kornze in Washington, D.C., that law-abiding Nevadans shouldn't be penalized by an "overreaching" agency.

Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval pointed earlier to what he called "an atmosphere of intimidation," resulting from the roundup and said he believed constitutional rights were being trampled.

Heller said he heard from local officials, residents and the Nevada Cattlemen's Association and remained "extremely concerned about the size of this closure and disruptions with access to roads, water and electrical infrastructure."

The federal government has shut down a scenic but windswept area about half the size of the state of Delaware to round up about 900 cattle it says are trespassing.

BLM and National Park Service officials didn't immediately respond Wednesday to criticisms of the roundup that started Saturday and prompted the closure of the 1,200-square-mile area through May 12.

It's seen by some as the latest battle over state and federal land rights in a state with deep roots in those disputes, including the Sagebrush Rebellion of the 1970s and '80s. Nevada, where various federal agencies manage or control more than 80 percent of the land, is among several Western states where ranchers have challenged federal land ownership.

The current showdown pits rancher Cliven Bundy's claims of ancestral rights to graze his cows on open range against federal claims that the cattle are trespassing on arid and fragile habitat of the endangered desert tortoise. Bundy has said he owns about 500 branded cattle on the range and claims the other 400 targeted for roundup are his, too.

BLM and Park Service officials see threats in Bundy's promise to "do whatever it takes" to protect his property and in his characterization that the dispute constitutes a "range war."

U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Las Vegas, noted that BLM officials were enforcing federal court orders that Bundy remove his animals. The legal battle has been waged for decades.

Kornze, the new BLM chief, is familiar with the area. He's a natural resource manager who grew up in Elko, Nev., and served previously as a senior adviser to Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Reid aide Kristen Orthman said her boss "hopes the trespassing cattle are rounded up safely so the issue can be resolved."

Sandoval, a former state attorney general and federal district court judge, weighed in late Tuesday after several days of media coverage about blocked roads and armed federal agents fanning out around Bundy's ranch while contractors using helicopters and vehicles herd cows into portable pens in rugged and remote areas.

Common sense should trump your know it all facts. Only recently did anyone care about where the cows grazed. Common sense should trump your thought that this man deserved to be seized Waco style, for Harry Reids greed.  Emotions? Wouldn't you be emotional if your ranch was raided and you were not a criminal?

shady builder Jim Rhodes (the four lane improved highway to Searchlight goes right by Reid's land). Then there are the shenanigans involving the Coyote Springs development of lawyer/friend Harvey Whittemore where Reid moved mountains to obtain transmission line and desert tortoise rights � now defunct the land is being repositioned for largess from a solar plant operator. Currently there is the Anderson Dairy scandal where dairyman (with real cows) and Republican member of the State Assembly Ed Goedart was forced to ship milk to California, then ship California milk back to Nevada while Reid supporter Andersen Dairy is given a waiver.

The hardest part of getting licensed in real estate in NV was the state law test!  I have taken 3 state tests now and NV was the hardest and craziest and most of it dealt with the BLM! That is one agency that needs to go!!!  The regulations and the oversight are gestapo like!!!

One of the big confusions here is the claim and misuse of term 'rent'. These old grazing grants are not renting in the general sense. These were contracts with the rancher and State which basically gave the rancher 'use ownership' while the State owns the land. A lot of times, in order to make it the same as ownership, the rights were contracted for 999 years.  Tens if not hundreds of millions of acres around this country are held by ranchers this way, it is one of the foundations of the large ranching system.

When the contracts were handed from the State to the Federal Government, one of the caviats were that these existing contracts would be honored.

This is the crux of the issue, the BLM has come in and claimed right to both land ownership and breaking the contract on usage ownership.


Here is the scary part. Millions of these acres were legally used by ranch owners to sell usage rights to developers and in some areas, subdivisions have grown up on this land. If this trend continues, there will be nothing stopping the BLM from coming in and taking property from millions of homeowners around the country.

I wouldn't be surprised if you dig into the deed history of many people on this site, you'll find that your homes fall under this. Your land and home are simply transfers of usage rights, not true landowner rights.

The contract wasn't dishonored. Mr. Bundy voided the contract by refusing to pay the fees.

BLM is federal, so that part is not exclusive to Nevada. Overall 86% of the land in Nevada is government owned.

I hope some trigger happy militiaman doesn't damage the conservative cause, because of what he "feels" the laws should be.  An act by militia will be tied to the Tea Party, to conservatism, and to Republicans.

A group that often proclaims we are a Constitutional Republic, that we are governed by laws not by men, had best sit still and take stock of what the facts are in this case, instead of "shooting from the hip."

There is a bunch of goofy stuff being claimed here, that is simply not accurate. Chinese, Brazilians, solar, fracking, Reno, Laughlin, etc.

I hope Bundy gets some legal and political help, gets his day in court again, etc. Unless he is hell bent on losing, he needs to be reasonable, willing to compromise.

Anybody with a serious mind, would have to consider his action to become $300,000 in arrears in grazing fees, puts him at a disadvantage in a court case.

In America, when we lose in court, we don't start firing guns. He's lost in court numerous times.

I know it is federal, but it is quite a bit on the NV test. Which is the only part I had to take BTW.  My problem is exactly what you just posted. STATE LAND!  So why are the BLM involved at all?

If you follow what Bundy and others have been saying, there is a lot more to it, than he just not paying that "fee" all these years.

plus there is no reason for the BLM to go in all gestapo like we live in a banana republic!

The way I see it, the BLM is creating laws they "feel" are right.  Same BS as the EPA and numerous other federal agencies that are operating well outside of their jurisdiction. 

The common response is "if you don't like it, go to Congress and change the law".    Would that also apply to the other side also?  But they don't seem to have to do that, they just make it up as they go along.

I tried saying this early on and no one seemed to hear.

The problem came from his cattle "trespassing" on the BLM's (ours) land.  It was said even the BLM does no know where the imaginary line is located between the ranch and the state/federal lands. 

If they are so concerned about the turtles, why don't they build a fence?  Must not be about turtles huh? 

Fences make good  neighbors but since the feds cannot even build one on the southern border, I suppose one here is completely out of the question.

Maybe you're right, but that still doesn't mean that Bundy is not in the wrong here.

There is a highway that I've traveled daily for decades in South Florida, last year the State government made it a toll road and suddenly I was paying to use a road that I'd used for free for years.

If I run those toll booths, I will be arrested, and no matter how hard I try to argue that I don't agree with the decision to transform free roads to tolled roads, that I am not getting anything extra for those tolls, and that I have some sort of pre-eminent domain right to use those roads for free as a result of having always used those roads for free, the descendants of those people who threw the tea into the harbor set up the system of government that we all currently live under, and the law that was enacted which took my daily route to work from free to a tolled route, was enacted according to the governing mechanisms that they basically set into place, albeit bloated and dysfunctional.

The same basic situation applies to the Bundy case.

We can start to overthrow the government over situations like these, and God knows I think we need a whole new Constitution and government, but as that crazy old fart in the city council said, both sides better start setting up some funeral plans.

The tree of liberty is refreshed with the blood of both patriots and tyrants.
