you guys are such fools to think this is about wildlife,




Its not about wildlife.

Its about who has authority over the land.

Which 2 separate courts have ruled against Bundy.

Then stop talking about saving turtles.

This is about getting cattle out of the way so billions of dollars can be made.

This issue is overflowing with blatant corruption and conflict of interest.

Taylor Grazing Act of 1934

quote:

So far as consistent with the purposes and provisions of this subchapter, grazing privileges recognized and acknowledged shall be adequately safeguarded, but the creation of a grazing district or the issuance of a permit pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter shall not create any right, title, interest, or estate in or to the lands.


Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976

quote:

the warning that “issuance of a permit” creates no “right, title, interest or estate” make clear that the ranchers’ interest in permit stability cannot be absolute; and that the Secretary is free reasonably to determine just how, and the extent to which, “grazing privileges” shall be safeguarded, in light of the Act’s basic purposes.

What's your point? My post was simply in answer to what points of the dispute were settled by the court, not any judgment on the wisdom of the law or the courts.

All of that in action for 89% of the state of Nevada? Yet how much for Louisiana? How much for Delaware? For New York?

Is Nevada a state, or is it some sort of federal holding? That is the larger question. That is the larger dilemma. That is the larger issue.

Nevada is a state.

Prior to statehood it belonged to Mexico, when it became a state it placed that land in the ownership of the US government.

The deeding of the land to the US is actually part of their state constitution.

And I believe the state doesn't want the land because managing it is a financial loss to the government.

These things have been pointed out to you multiple times previously so I'm afraid you're guilty of willful ignorance.

The Feds have owned 86+% of Nevada since 1864 when Nevada became a state. Nevada never owned any of it, and willingly disclaimed any right to it when it became a state.

What is your stance on the evidence of corruption and conflict of interest between BLM, Harry Reid, and the energy company?

You're acting as if this is a clean issue, decided by the fair rules of law. But there is so much more in play.

That's uncalled for, there isn't anything that is 'here say' in the OP.

There is clear and blatant corruption and conflict of interest surrounding this issue.

Its two separate issues.

1) The Bundy's
The law requires them to pay grazing fees to graze cattle on that public land. They have refused to pay those fees and have continued to violate the law and court orders for the past 20 years.

2) The Solar Energy Plant
Did ENN get preferential treatment in purchasing the land for their plant due to relationships with the Reids.


#2 does not excuse the Bundys from violating the law for the last 20 years.

Just to be clear, that 1864 Government was the same government that allowed legal ownership of slaves in the North?

Gosh, it seems to me that maybe we could, in the 21st Century, be in a position to reconsider the 1864 sense of justifiable ownership.

So this seems to protect grazing privileges as well as manage.

This seems to say that you are ok grazing there as long as its worthless scrubland but when we find a way to develop and make more money from it you are gone.



I know that there are a lot of ranchers grazing cattle on federal lands out west, I just wonder if they are being harassed as well. I also wonder how many there were in 1976 as opposed to how many are there now.

You have every right to petition your congressmen and ask them to consider legislation that would cede Federal lands to Nevada. I doubt you would get a majority of Americans to agree with you, and in the meantime Mr. Bundy should abide by the law.

Seems Bundy is simply emulating a higher example.
