"the people" are not just those who agree with you. it seems "the people" have spoken when the courts decided against Bundy twice.


Ahhh no sorry , the people did not speak , the BLM spoke . Not one of those laws that the court had to consider , was actually voted on by either the people be they federally or within the state . NOR were they written up in a bill , submitted to congress and thus passed through due process. So in NO way did the people have any voice in this


Simply untrue. Most of the legal battle is based on the Taylor Grazing Act, a bill that was introduced and approved by Congress and signed by the President. Ranchers were among the main voice behind the act. Taylor himself was a rancher. The American people select their congressmen as provided for in the U.S. Constitution.

Reed definitely was foolish to lump the whole group of protestors together as terrorists, both factually and politically.
