The stand-off in Oregon between the Federal government and Ammon Bundy and his fellow ranchers does not seem to be winding down. Bundy and his loosely connected organization came to Burns, Oregon about two weeks ago in support of Steven and Dwight Hammond, local ranchers who were accused of arson some years ago. The charges were filed because the Hammonds cleared some of their ranch by burning the underbrush and overgrowth, but the fire spread to surrounding Federal land. The Hammonds were able to extinguish the blaze without help, and in fact, both the Hammonds ranch and the Federal land are said to be more productive and healthier from the clearing, but the government seems intent on making a show of who is in charge.
The charge of arson, which in and of itself seems like a huge miscarriage of justice, in that it carries a mandatory sentence of 5 years in prison. A judge who tried the case thought so too and said that it would be improper and unfair to send them to prison for 5 years each, so he sentenced the Hammonds to less than a year in jail, which they completed some time ago. However, a judge or government agency seeking to show ranchers everywhere just who is in charge has demanded that the Hammonds serve the full five years, and the father and son left for prison last week.

You and your lord are idiots.
What to be convinced about? The fed government has NO rights to land ownership UNLESS that land is a “territory”(unclaimed by a state”
)…the only land they LEGALLY own is the ten square miles that make up D.C. …read the constitution
Article 1 section 8 clause 17 outlines the governments ability to own land as a jurisdiction among the union, it consists of 10 square miles for the seat of the gov, and the necessary land to erect forts and ports with permission from the states, the federal government is out of control and anyone that can show me different from the constitution I would love to engage!!
Article Four Section 2 Clause 2 of the constitution would indicate that the federal government can in fact own property, in addition to territories. In addition to this the US SC has continually upheld the concept of federal lands in Kleppe v. New Mexico (1976), Light v. United States (1911), and Camfield v. United States (1897). Any of those three cases are good to read if you doubt that the Federal government can own land outside of DC.

Not only that we are a common law country are we not?? Google it! Yahoo it ! Bing it!! They will all tell you, so will the 7th amendment the 4th and the 11th amendments of the constitution, blacks law dictionary’s definition of “common law crimes” literally says a citizen cannot commit crimes against the United States, a crime has to involve a flesh and blood human beings formal complaint from an injured party!
But a good majority of them have no idea, just like the rest of the American people asleep at the wheel, everyone would rather watch the Kardashian’s then study the constitutional law that governs them, it’s sad, not only that we are a common law country and blacks law dictionary’s definition of “common law crimes” literally says (I’m paraphrasing) but it does use this same verbiage and language is that no citizen can commit a crime against the United States, in a common law country there must be a injured party of flesh and bone and they themselves must file with the court a formal complaint or suit, the state also pays the judges the prosecuting attorneys , the balef , the clerks and everyone in the court under the same E.I.N. Number making them all the same entity! That is a huge conflict of interest, how can you receive a fair trial when your accuser and your judge are paid by the same entity???? We have a huge problem here my fellow Americans!!
Thank you Jordan, I will get my books out and read up.
Yes they do and David why don’t you learn how to talk to a woman bet your$#%&!@*you wouldn’t talk to me like that in person
I give the benefit of the doubt to the people before our government. The government can’t be trusted to expose itself for it’s own corruption, and if the states won’t stand up to them than who is left but the people. Mabe the BLM isn’t doing anything wrong, but we should scrutinize them first.
That’s ok David you have a right to your belief and I put my faith in Jesus.
