i wonder if the Governor of Nevada can order a special commission or special investigator to look into the entire BLM matter...

The Governor of Nevada, Brian Sandoval, is a moderate Republican who is cruising towards an easy re-election this year, and with an eye towards possibly challenging Harry Reid in 2016, needs to tread carefully on the Bundy matter.

Rural Nevada is solidly GOP/libertarian, but Las Vegas (and Reno, to a lesser extent) is a different constituency, one that Dingy Harry has bought and paid for. We'll have to see how it all plays out..

On the other hand, if the Feds decide to double down on their firepower and come back to invade Bundy and Bunkerville again, and if bloodshed ensues, then I can see the entire rural West rising up. I've never in my lifetime seen the country as polarized as it is at present. Volatile..

I think that would be a wise choice.

I doubt that there will be an adequate inhibition that can be enabled to prevent future violence... without someone addressing the full range in the underlying issues in legitimacy, or the lack of it. I believe it is likely that the "court orders" were wrongly issued... in a practice that may well prove to be a fraud on the courts.

We won't know... if there isn't any proper investigation conducted that includes looking into government corruption... and, the Federal government has for a long time now refused to engage in legitimate investigations of corruption by government officials... or has obstructed them...

Perhaps the real point of the "war on terror" was to sideline the FBI and allow the criminals to run wild ?

Prior to the military action staged on the Bundy Ranch I doubt anyone would have suspected there were any deeper linkages that might exist to wrongs being practiced against the Bundy's... that make the efforts in government enforcement into acts in furtherance of a fraud...

Now, I think that "risk" is obvious to even a casual observer...

It smell like dead fish...

Ranchers aren't unaware that the government has been prosecuting a range war against them. This appears to be NOT the first instance in which a rancher has won a battle against EXACTLY that... making it not at all improbable that this is merely another instance...

If the point in the risk of violence now... is that armed thugs from the government may think they have a need to kill the people who successfully opposed them... in order to prevent future risks inherent in exposure of their crimes (or of those they work for)... then, the best way to prevent that violence is to proceed to expose them under a competent authority with a countervailing force in law and in fact... to remove any hint of an idea that they might benefit from imposing a military assault on their accusers.

At a minimum...

Someone needs to ask the questions about why unpaid grazing fees were deemed a matter of significant national importance... significant enough to authorize taking military action...

When they could have filed a lien at the county courthouse instead.
