The Constitution (the true Supreme Law of the Land) declares that FedGov can ONLY "own" or control that ten mile square patch of dirt next the Potomac River, military bases and ports, and post office properties (and I suppose we could include the present Federal Highway system rights of way as "post roads" and allow them as well).

NOTHING FURTHER can be owned by FedGov. So WHY is some eighty percent of the State of Nevada "owned" illegally by FedGov? Some 70% of Utah? in total, about 55% of the twelve western states, including Alaska? WHY? IF the Constitution is enforced, FedGov MUST cede ALL non-military lands back to the states within whose borders those lands lie.

Bundy is correct: those lands belong to the State of Nevada, and to Clark County. THAT is why he wanted to pay the "grazing fees" to either of those entities. Why wart over "treaty rights" when FedGov is completely outside the bounds of the Constitution in "owning" those lands?




The Almighty US Congress has done this, and only Congress can undo it... Basically, Nevada ceded huge swaths of land to the Federal Government upon obtaining statehood. Not knowing of course what would happen less than 150 years later. After reading this I was sick to my stomach
