Your assertion that he has grazing and water rights on federal land are fairy tales. Don't try preaching to me what his rights are "by law". I'm a lawyer. You're wrong and you simply don't know what you're talking about.

It's public land owned by the federal government and has been since 1848 when Mexico ceded it to the United States. It wasn't transferred to Nevada in the Nevada enabling act, and the Nevada state constitution expressly disclaims any right or title to public lands owned by the federal government at statehood. Bundy's family showed up 30 years later, so he has no prior rights and hasn't produced any deed, charter, or otherwise to show that he does.

Bundy has never claimed, in court or otherwise, that he has any ownership rights over those public lands. He didn't dispute it was federal land until he paid grazing fees for a few years and decided he didn't like it anymore, stopped paying, and the feds took him to court. Even now he says the public land is Nevada's, which the state of Nevada denies and is expressly wrong per the state constitution.

I base my opinions on facts, not fairy tales. You simply make this man out to be something he is not.
