Nonsense — Obama planted those stories about the Supreme Court decisions in the media. In reality the Supreme Court ruled unanimously 15-0 both times that the land had been viciously and cruelly expropriated from the rightful Mormon owners by jack-booted liberal Federal thugs at the direction of Eleanor Rooosevelt in 1949 as part of her drive to subjugate our country to the United Nations, but tyrant Obama has inserted propaganda to cover this information up.

The Supreme Court ruled on the case both in 1902 and again in 1935, proof that locals have long challenged the federal government’s presumption of ownership. But in both cases, the federal government was found to be in possession of the land.
Or as Ted Cruz calls them five unelected lawyers.

There are certain members of our US society that strongly believe that they are entitled to what ever they want. Regardless of facts, laws and common sense.

To clarify, the land has been held illegally by the federal government since they dishonored a treaty with the Paiute tribe that recognised it as theirs in the 19th century.
The ranchers do not come close to having a claim on this land, and the federal government’s claim is also questionable.

OK, he locals, injuns, and Feds say they should leave. It’s time to move in and arrest or light them up!
Including one of those unelected lawyers that Ted Cruz used to work for…
ETA: OOops…that was Rehnquist…now dead and buried. But the essence of my remark still stands.

Solution:
Make the ranchers occupy a life-size, 3-D diorama in the Wildlife Center and charge admission to see them…

But for the Pussy Comatosus clowns and right wing loons, that’s just some evil unelected judge who is part of “The Federal Government” which they feel magical came from some other dimension to enslave the world.
These freaks simply feel they can do whatever they want, wherever they want without consequence. And everyone else has to pick up the tab. Because they don’t want to pay anything (taxes, fees, you name it). Even as they even apply for hundreds of thousands of dollars in hand outs.
Why?
Because Freedumb™!

These folks are a bunch of whack-os who live in some alternate reality. They are obviously not too bright and enjoy being that way. They marry women with the same lack of intelligence and then spit out children like gum balls out of a gumball machine. I am sick of them.

SCOTUS may have ruled twice on this matter but that was before we had Scalia, Alito, Thomas and Roberts on the court…Unfortunately, any adherence to judicial precedent often gets thrown out the window with these robed assholes. Its pretty much all a crapshoot now when it comes to most laws that get challenged before them.

Sure, 4 death threats. But OTHER than that :
Together, they and their wives became civic anchors, according to letters later submitted to federal court. They served on school boards and nonprofit boards. They were active in industry groups, with Steve Hammond once serving as president of the Harney County Farm Bureau. - The Oregonian.
Rehnquist is where Cruz got that line from. In one of his many dissents back before the court turned quite so hard right and he became a drug addict, Rehnquist wrote something about it being bad for the country that so much power was vested in “nine lawyers with virtual life tenure”. Thus winning that year’s Stunning Lack of Self-Awareness prize.

Looking over the Malheur Wildlife Refuge-

Looks like a good backdrop for an Edward Curtis photograph of Paiutes all dressed up with no where left to go.
