But all it takes to see that same premise Bundy is using was successfully used by Hage to win court cases against the same agencies and dealing with the same type circumstances of being pushed off the land, is to let yourself see it.

You don't have to watch the whole thing to understand what they are doing here, but anyone that does will be the wiser for it.

One of the differences in the cases may be the surface water, ditch rights. I think those were part of the 1866 law, and part of Hages case.

Not so sure if windmills and plastic pipe, put in in the 1960's and 1970's, with govt money, will hold the same force of precedent.

The same premise applies when you consider that the water is what makes the land usable. Bundy does own the water rights. And without the water the land is pretty unusable.

That is why the BLM was destroying the water infrastructure with bulldozers at the same time they rounded the cattle up. They wanted to make the land unusable to Bundy. In doing so, they crossed another line in the sand and broke laws pertaining to his private property and his ability to make use of the water rights he owns.
