I mentioned the occupy movement earlier.
When we last heard from Andy on that subject he was in favor of those guys breaking city laws to squat unlicensed on city property in Toronto. In fact he felt they should swarm Ottawa.
Those Occupy guys broke the law, because they felt like it. Bundy at least tries to justify his actions as legal based on state and other rights.
I'm thinking the way Delwin talks he also would have been pro-Occupy. Thanos, maybe not. He's against everything.
But does Bundy have a leg to stand on legally? Probably not. Not even the more mainstream Right seem to think so.

In the 2 hour lecture video I posted earlier the lawyer and state representative from Utah was talking about state enabling acts. He was talking about how the enabling acts for the Western states were all written pretty much the same. That's what Delwin was quoting - the enabling act making it legal for the Feds to take command of state land. However some states like North and South Dakota do not have the massive sections of their states deemed public land the other states do even though their enabling acts are written in the same language. North and South Dakots being given their state rights to land management back is why American has what stimulus left to the economy it does have. North and South Dakota can Frack, because they have rights to the land and Obama can't stop them from using it.
So why? According to the rep from Utah, they demanded the rights and got them. So what I gather from that is there is leeway around the enabling act. You say Bundy is breaking the law, but I say it's less law than what the Occupiers were breaking.
Also Bundy claims he was paying land management fees to BLM until BLM drove his fellow ranchers out of business with dumb management practices. He claims he will pay the state fees for grazing anytime they want them. At present however the State lacks the balls of North and South Dakota to challenge the enabling act, so they won't take Bundy's money. How much did the Occupiers offer to squat?
