I am weighing in after reading the op's post and watching(parts) and reading the news story....SO this really is easy, sorry to those that support the rancher ,HE IS A FREELOADING SQUATTER, his family,IF they had grazing rights back in the day were PAID when the land was condemned for federal use,so he has no case at all, that I can see...the fact that he has "militias"(domestic terrorists ) coming to his aid will further weaken his position in court

post script:the fact that the rancher stopped paying his permit fees gives him 0 rights to graze his cattle , the fact that he doesn't observe the govt that provides the land for his cattle to graze on is absurd,,, maybe he want's help from FIDEL CASTRO . Or the president of MEXICO...this guy is 100% kook...let him move outta the country if he doesn't recognize the govt...
THE FIRST HALF OF THIS POST IS LEGAL OBSERVATION... THE 2ND IS PERSONAL OPINION....
