“But… but… the courtroom flag has a gold fringe so this is a military tribunal! I am a civilian, a Free Man on the land, I am not subject to your drumhead court martial!”

I agree. Unfortunately, the pathetic state of American journalism permits these nut cases to perpetuate their ignorance.

I worked in a civil courtroom for a few decades, admittedly not the same as a criminal court room. Some judges allow defendants to speak their mind for quite a while. This is a great way for defendants to make their record and destroy any chance of prevailing on appeal. And it is quite entertaining for courtroom staff.

My solution is simple. The Western Homestead Act of 2016. (A test Act) Have the Federal Government auction off 100 square miles (or so) of land around Bunkerville and Bundy Ranch. One square mile parcels (640 acres) Reserve price $500,000 per parcel. (Less than $1000 per acre.)
All proceeds going to the Office of Federal Debt to pay down the national debt.
Who could possibly object?

I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure that scoffing at the authority of the court and the presiding judge is rarely a winning legal strategy.

Sounds like the contempt Muslim Jihadist terrorists have when brought into the U.S. Courts for trial, exactly like those “other” terrorists who do not recognize the legitimacy of the United States of America.

I chuckled at that. Brian Cavalier, if that’s his real name, must have thought that action was so profound. We all know the courtroom erupted in applause. I can imagine the prosecutor had to show great restraint not to laugh in his face.

Having seen mercifully few judges myself, I can only say that the ones on Law & Order would really take exception to this behavior.

Good ol’ Rubes. We’re probably better off without them, but at least they remind us that our lives could be much worse.

What the hell is patriotic about not recognizing the U.S. government? Occupying and trashing a national monument? Letting a bunch of cattle starve?
You people aren’t patriots, you are nothing but big mouthed criminals. I would love to see every one of you in prison for the rest of your lives.

Pointing weapons and threatening to shoot at law enforcement officers now makes you a “patriot” in the eyes of the GOP. If you are white.
And within that magical Constitution these idiots presented to the court, one can read this:
The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States.
This is Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2
