Cliven Bundy, the Nevada Rancher who got a bill for $1Million from the Bureau of Land Management for 20 years of free cattle food has been in a standoff with federal agents for over two weeks.
Here's how it all started. Cliven Bundy has been feeding his cows on public land for 20 years without paying tax. Every other rancher pays for it, but he decided he didn't want to and has been in constant legal war with the Bureau of Land Management over the issue. In 2013 the US District Court of Nevada ordered him to remove his cattle from public land, but Bundy says he doesn't recognize the federal government of the US, and only recognizes the constitution of the state of Nevada.
That means he either hasn't read the constitution of the state of Nevada, or is deliberaly ignoring the fact that Article 1, Section 2 of the state constitution hands the allegiance of Nevada citizens to the Federal government. (Thanks Atlantic.com!)
Then, on April 5th, the Bureau of Land Management started rounding up Bundy's cattle, like the court said. So he sent out a call for help and self-styled militiamen from all over the US came to his aid. The BLM released the cattle and backed off, for fear the unhinged gun nuts might start shooting.
Apparent victory suddenly propelled Bundy to American folk-hero status, with journalists from all over asking for his opinion. So, on April 19th, he told a crowd of assembled supporters, including a New York Times journalist, what he thought of black people.
And now his former-supporters are running from Bundy like he's radioactive. There, now you're up to speed on this hillbilly soap opera.
