re: #163 calochortus

So apparently Bundy is claiming that federal lands somehow passed to the ownership of the state of Nevada upon statehood.
Further, because his use of the federally owned land predates the creation of the BLM, he doesn’t feel he is subject to its regulations.

An interesting legal theory, but one the courts haven’t accepted. Ever.
“I’ve been driving this car since before the speed limit was lowered here. Therefore, I’m not subject to the current speed limit.”

And total BS. Permits were established under the Taylor Grazing Act in 1934. BLM came into existence in 1946 due to multiple bureaus being merged. Bundy paid fees up to 1993 and then stopped. So he is just dipping into the squatter’s rights and sovereign citizen pools for justification after the fact.
