I dunno, it sounds like it could have been a fun Ringworld novel. A mysterious land where the residents live in fear of golems carrying out the inscrutable commands left by a long dead culture of liberty minded legal wizards, and only a hillbilly who repeats the words he found on some stones he found buried in his back yard can bring freedom back to the people. The stones could double as a critique of Mormonism.

Ringworld or Diskworld?

So in this world of squinty faces and holeshitting, the government is a huge monolithic entity that will destroy and hold people down...but are BOUND by their own laws if said in a certain way. You cannot make this poo poo up. They bet the rest of their free lives on this. They're going to die in prison because of this.

It's not even good storytelling.

alot of nutjobs all across the political spectrum(left or right) believe in magic words. if you say the right word everything will suddenly work in your favor. they also believe that if other people say ceirten words. it would destroy everyone. example. if a high school student learns an isalmic prayer in school for a culture studdies class, evangelicals think he/she will magically turn into a Muslim by saying those words.

There's actually some interesting studies about how schizophrenics feel about words and how they think about them differently than a lot of people, it's why many of them capitalize random words in a sentence to give them more "power"

It's great how one of Ammon's selling points to the Harney residents was that there would be no legal repercussions. Because I guess he assumed that he'd correctly called out the government on their unconstitutional bluff in the original standoff.

Then he went to jail and bragged about how they could only get him on some 1800's law meant to prevent angry Southerners from loving with federal officials during the Reconstruction Era.

Then the prosecutors formally filed charges so now he's going to die in prison and he cries like a little bitch when a journalist passes on messages like, "Your wife says she loves you."

Maester Ammon eschewed the throne because he knew he was better suited to a life of learning and servitude. Who are we to doubt him?

Some idiots did bring their kids along for the armed insurrection, so it could have belonged to an actual child.

That still boggles my mind though. I can see why the organizers would have wanted (other people's) children there as a human shield and to make the feds look really bad if they did attack. I really can't comprehend how any of the kids' parents thought it was a good thing to do though. "My precious baby probably won't die in a hail of gunfire, but if she does that will really get the sheeple to finally wake up!"

Marbury v . Madison is a crock, there are no courts, no laws, only the tenth amendment and we the people:

http://arnoldlawfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/motion-to-dismiss-medenbach.pdf

The truck thief's motion to reconsider denial of his earlier motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. In a nutshell, Marbury was wrongly decided because the oath the justices took was invalid (HUGE SURPRISE), ergo there is no judicial review.

And of course, he cites to the ninth circuit owning him in the past:

Built a camp and defended it with bombs and a grenade in 1997. This I believe is the "probation for a previous unlawful occupation of federal land" that has been referenced elsewhere. Or maybe this is old and that references a more recent occupation. Who knows.

I guess they really did think this was the start of their glorious revolution and wanted the kids to see mommy and daddy's moment of triumph. That or they didn't want the evil gubbermint to use the kids as leverage.

Of course, given that they ranted about putting the women and children up on the front lines should actual combat happen, them just being irresponsible idiots in this case might be a little too charitable.

quote:

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on Thursday renewed his calls to make a national monument out of Gold Butte, the site of the 2014 Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada where Cliven Bundy had illegally grazed his cattle for decades.

Reid announced on the floor that he plans to ask President Barack Obama to use his authority granted under the Antiquities Act to protect that land. The minority leader argued the protection could come at a fortuitous time, as several members of the Bundy family are jailed for their roles in both the 2014 standoff and the takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge earlier this year in rural Oregon. Family patriarch Cliven Bundy is also being held in Nevada on assault and federal conspiracy charges tracing back to the 2014 standoff near his family's ranch.

"Because of trouble caused by the Bundys and their pals, the federal employees tasked with safely guarding these antiquities were prevented from doing their jobs," Reid said on the floor. "It was about 19 of them that have been indicted. Most of them are still in jail where they belong...[workers] have been under constant physical and mental threat for doing what the American people asked them to do."

The national monument Reid is asking for would stretch roughly 100 miles, beyond the site of the 2014 standoff. The land is currently jointly managed by Clark County and the Bureau of Land Management. Grazing is not legal on the land, and if the land is granted monument status it still won't be legal to graze there.

Reid had introduced legislation in the past to protect Gold Butte, as The Las Vegas Sun chronicled, but it faces long odds in a Republican-controlled Congress. Reid has since turned to asking the President to deem the area a national monument.

It argues that they should have interpreted the oath they took that implied they could interpret what was or wasn't unconstitutional as unconstitutional, thereby preventing them from judging what was unconstitutional
