re: #175 ObserverArt

I’d like some of the LGF members to lend their opinions on this one article I came across in my searching for more info on the Cliven Bundy vs. BLM land rights standoff.

There seems to be quite a lot of debate over who controls Federal Land in a state under the Constitution and that is where this article comes in. On the surface it seems legit, but I am not a federal land rights historian. So, if anyone wants to read this article and comment on its overall accuracy I’d appreciate it. The article seems to be one of the best that goes to the original Federal land once the US took control from Mexico and then what happens when a state is declared and who controls what from that point.

Also…if anyone has any other links that go to the actual law and state versus federal control of land I’d appreciate them.

Here is the main thrust of the linked article:

Link: Who actually “owns” America’s land? A deeper look at the Bundy Ranch crisis

By the way, I have no idea of the legitimacy of the linked site. It came up in a Google search

‘The Daily Sheeple’? What’s not to trust?

Looks like bullshit to me, but I’m no expert.
