His case wasn't compelling before. People are striving, beyond credibility, to make his situation into a true property rights dispute with the federal government. It isn't.

It's a guy who makes an extralegal claim based on some made-up theory about who should control land in question. I hate government overreach, but this isn't a particularly good example.

And now, he's made all of his supporters look like backward racists.

Let's just be honest, he's an idiot. Listen to him try to articulate his views.

He tried to claim Pollard's Lessee V. Hagan (1845) apllied.

The only problem was that US v. Gardner had already shot that down ruling that Pollard's Lessee v. Hagan does not apply to land in Nevada.
