Providing they have actual proof.  Which Bundy has never been able to provide.
And, of course, it's going to be damn hard for Bundy to find any proof when he claims to have started grazing in 1877, while the Feds laid claim to that land in 1861.   The BLM's creation date is a red herring.

In other words, you do not think ZMV can not decide to start a logging company on public land without paying for the wood.  He must first get permission from other another entity or entities.

Edit: And likewise, you would say that a rancher can not run cattle on public land without such permission.


I would say that ZMV could not start a new logging company on public land without paying for the wood yes.

The one sticky wicket with this is the mans family has used the range long before the BLM existed in its current form.


Which doesn't mean much when the entity with the authority to make those determinations decides to modify the considerations of its permission.

I lived in an apartment complex once that was sold to another management agency.  I had lived in that apartment longer than the new company had owned it.  That didn't mean much when they rolled out brand new lease agreements with new language and difference rent rates.


Last time I checked common law is still common law. When a person has made a claim to land that predates an entity with the authority to make determinations on unclaimed land, it is theirs.

The Feds made a claim to unused lands, so that no other nation (the south) could make the same claim.

One thing bothers me about this argument is it doesn't matter when the BLM was formed. The BLM doesn't "claim" the land, the federal government does. The BLM is simply an organization within the US Department of the Interior. It doesn't matter when or how the BLM was formed and that argument is a red herring. The land has been owned by the USA since 1848.

He hasn't paid for grazing rights since 1993. His cows have been eating for free, and he's been selling the cows for money. Free grazing = free money.

The claim was to all unused land, As in once someone claims it, it belongs to those who claim it. The claim the feds made was souly to keep other nations from making similar claims. Thousands of people laid claim to land in navada after 1864. Bundy being one of them. All of them were legitimate.

Ironically the guy the county was named after laid claims to huge areas of Montana.

Not sure if i posted this yet:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/16/colo-eminent-domain-case-settled-with-115000-sale/



"Summit County, which refused interviews, said in a statement Wednesday it acquired the property for $115,000 in a voluntary settlement, following court-ordered mediation.  Ceil Barrie told Fox News the monetary figure just covered the couple’s legal bills and some of the land's value.



She said they had every intention of taking the case to court, but the fight got to be too expensive. "The cabin was condemned on the grounds of plumbing and electricity when it doesn't even have plumbing or electricity,” she said.  "All those things added up in my mind... this is ridiculous, we can never win and our money is not unlimited. I have two kids in college this year."

Nevada became a state in 1864.  The "unused land" bit, assuming it's even true, ends then, with the Nevada Constitution.

"That the people inhabiting said territory do agree and declare, that they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within said territory, and that the same shall be and remain at the sole and entire disposition of the United States;"

Again, 1864 vs 1877.  Bundy's family came after all this went down.  By your own argument, any claim Bundy might have is superseded by the United States's ownership.

Snips probably thinks eating shitty sage brush will fatten cows up enough to sell for making money off his illegal grazing operation.

States don't have the authority you're talking about anyway.  There's no need to put it into a state constitution.

That clause clearly states that unappropriated land in Nevada belongs to the US.  Since the land in question is Federal land, it is safe to assume that it was unappropriated at the time of Nevada's rise to statehood.  1864.  1877.

An apartment is rented if the new lease holder changes the rules you got to gtfo. No one has the rancher boxed in he knew this was coming for years, and if he wants to run more cows than his private land can hold he must go buy some. You do understand no one is telling him what to do with his private land right? He doesn't own enough acreage to tote a sizable healthy herd in his AO. His family should have been buying land up a century ago when the price was right. He is in the current citation on his own doing.

i wonder why he said "Alaska allowed" rather than "the US allowed" then. Odd.

Anyway, it would seem that Bundy's family did not claim under the Homestead Act any of the land you think Bundy should get.  If they had, then the land wouldn't currently be Federal land, now would it?

Again, 1864 vs 1877.  Bundy's family came after all this went down.  By your own argument, any claim Bundy might have is superseded by the United States's ownership.


Not true. Alaska allowed homesteading 160 acres up to the mid 1980s. They had to live on the land for 5 years and make improvements.
The federal gov'ts claim can be and is superceded by states in many situations.


Er.. no, they can't. Article 6, Fed law >> State law.  In any case, state constitution >> state law and in the Nevada constitution, the state gives up claim to a huge swath of its territory.
So, where did you get your degree in constitutional law?
 

Are you arguing the clear language in Article 6?

i wonder why he said "Alaska allowed" rather than "the US allowed" then. Odd.

Anyway, it would seem that Bundy's family did not claim under the Homestead Act any of the land you think Bundy should get.  If they had, then the land wouldn't currently be Federal land, now would it?

He is talking about the homestead act. It allowed a person to claim up to 160 acres. That includes Nevada.

Never said he should own the land, I said he should have grazing and water rights because his family has used the land for that purpose for generations before the BLM inserted itself into the situation. If the feds want the rights back, if he chooses to sell.

but the question was what to do if they tell you now only one kid and all those years you had two there, do you just say ok and move or do you fight it because they changed the rules? The feds wont sell him the land since dirty harry needs more friends from china.




You move. Anyone in that scenario has only temporary ownership under said lease. When it comes time to renew lease and it's under new ownership if you don't like the new terms don't sign it, and leave. You have nothing to win in fighting for leased\rented land. If any of this was his land  deeded\titled to him it would be a whole different story.

"The Supreme Court actually addressed this issue in Pollard’s Lessee v. Hagan, 44 U.S. 212 (1845) when Alabama became a state in 1845. The question presented was concerning a clause where it was stated "that all navigable waters within the said State shall forever remain public highways, free to the citizens of said State, and of the United States, without any tax, duty, impost, or toll therefor imposed by said State.” The Supreme Court held that this clause was constitutional because it "conveys no more power over the navigable waters of Alabama to the Government of the United States than it possesses over the navigable waters of other States under the provisions of the Constitution.”



The Pollard decision expressed a statement of constitutional law in dictum making it very clear that the Feds have no claim over the lands in Nevada. The Supreme Court states:



"The United States never held any municipal sovereignty, jurisdiction, or right of soil in and to the territory of which Alabama, or any of the new States, were formed, except for temporary purposes, and to execute the trusts created by the acts of the Virginia and Georgia legislatures, and the deeds of cession executed by them to the United States, and the trust created by the treaty of the 30th April, 1803, with the French Republic ceding Louisiana.



So in other words, once a territory becomes a state, the Fed must surrender all claims to the land as if it were still just a possession or territory.



Sorry, but to all the left-wing commentators who call Bundy a tax-cheat and an outlaw, be careful of what you speak for the Supreme Court has made it clear in 1845 that the Constitution forbids the federal rangers to be out there to begin with for the Feds could not retain ownership of the territory and simultaneously grant state sovereignty. At the very minimum, it became state land – not federal."

The difference between Nevada and Alabama is here:

"The United States never held any municipal sovereignty, jurisdiction, or right of soil in and to the territory of which Alabama, or any of the new States, were formed, except for temporary purposes, and to execute the trusts created by the acts of the Virginia and Georgia legislatures, and the deeds of cession executed by them to the United States, and the trust created by the treaty of the 30th April, 1803, with the French Republic ceding Louisiana."

Georgia use to claim all territory due west of it's borders all the way to the Mississippi river.  The majority of Alabama falls into that.  The decision is based on Alabama originally being Georgian land, not Federal land.  Nevada, on the other, was originally Federal land.

Read all about it. It was thought Lincoln needed votes- in the deal to admit them to the union (with 20,000 less than the minimum by law needed 60,000 population) they had to sign away ownership- ina  deal that could only be broken by the feds. Illegal admission to the Union paid for by an apparent illegal land grab.





So if the deal was illegal- Is Nevada really a state?

"Summit County, which refused interviews, said in a statement Wednesday it acquired the property for $115,000 in a voluntary settlement, following court-ordered mediation.  Ceil Barrie told Fox News the monetary figure just covered the couple’s legal bills and some of the land's value.

She said they had every intention of taking the case to court, but the fight got to be too expensive. "The cabin was condemned on the grounds of plumbing and electricity when it doesn't even have plumbing or electricity,” she said.  "All those things added up in my mind... this is ridiculous, we can never win and our money is not unlimited.

Nevada, on the other, was originally Federal land.

So you say.  I imagine Nevada, the US, and even Bundy himself would disagree with you.  After all, Bundy thinks the state of Nevada has claim to the land he's been grazing on.

Er.. no, they can't. Article 6, Fed law >> State law.  In any case, state constitution >> state law and in the Nevada constitution, the state gives up claim to a huge swath of its territory.
So, where did you get your degree in constitutional law?

 


Are you arguing the clear language in Article 6?
No, I'm just saying you're a try hard internet warrior bent on utilizing limited intellect in arguing a pointless endeavor, since you can bring about no change or point. That your every post reminds people why GD is nothing more than entertainment.  You argue for arguments sake and do nothing to advance the discussion, while maintaining a willful ignorance that over times is indistinguishable from the regular kind.  In fact, you are a detriment to the thread in that your only purpose is to distract from intelligent conversation about the direction of the country because your entire focal point is wrapped around what you can glean from Wikipedia.  



It's clear you have no knowledge about ranching or the west.  It's clear you have no interest in anything but making noise, bleating like a goat over and over. Repeating the same tired arguments to anyone who falls for your banal questioning.  In a bowl of punch you rise above like an island, only upon further inspection (shallow at that) it is obvious you are nothing more than a turd, looking to be scooped up and put in someones glass, in order to sour them too.



If even one out of ten of your posts said something of substance, it would at least be tolerable.  Or if you had wit or comedy.  Yet you have neither.  You are as dry and bland as an MRE cracker.

Time to take you from a dry stale MRE cracker to one soggy in ignore...

Well, I guess that's one way to avoid backing up your argument.

You never pose a logical argument, do you? You use as many words as possible to basically tell someone "You don't know what you're talking about," but you never form a valid argument. Often, you even claim to have studied something substantially, or to have first-hand experience, or "friends of friends" who are in the know, but you still never post a valid and logically formed argument. Even when other people have valid and logical argument, you simply claim they don't and move on without ever refuting anything they say. It's like someone gave you a dictionary and a thesaurus, but never gave you a brain that can think critically about deductive reasoning. This is fucking hilarious, since the only one bleating and making noise in this thread is you.

Or are you going to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about?

You need to read this before you try to act intelligent from here on out: http://books.google.com/books?id=xL-qf5Hbkm0C&lpg=PP1&dq=critical%20thinking&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=critical%20thinking&f=false

Bingo. He doesn't know how to form a logical argument. He simply tells people they don't know what they're talking about, that he knows more, and then he moves on. It's a drive by fallacy.
