The standoff in Oregon between local rights advocates and the federal government regarding the ranchers who are being sent to prison over fires they set in 2006 to clear their land of brush and weeds is increasing in intensity.
Outside groups have made their way to the Malheur Wildlife Reserve and taken over the building (which was unoccupied). The government has responded by sending SOD-X Reserve/National Guard Special Operations troops, with the very clear potential for armed conflict.
This is once again a strong arm effort by the government to show that they own much of the land in Oregon (close to 50 of the entire land mass), and that locals such as ranchers must cow-tow to the government in Washington D.C.
There are serious issues here, and many Constitutional scholars indicate that the Federal government cannot, in fact, own land except for a section in the District of Columbia, plus some ports and seaways. But that may be a moot point when you have the U.S. military going against a rag-tag band of ranchers.

again wait until obama is out of office or we will have Marshall Law,, that is all he is waiting for… so keep calm and we will overcome in Nov. 2016
You would be throwing a fit too if you were the last man standing. There is no ranchers left and they are fighting for the few hard working people being robbed
Tim, I think you are at the wrong party. Most people around here love our country, and the constitution that allows you the privilege of giving your stupid view. We all know the timings bad, but these men have been going through hell thanks to probably your little god Obama. So don’t go away mad just go, or I’ll just block your stupidity.
Wait a minute, what? They’ve been their for weeks and nothing at all has happened.
You got our attention brothers, stay safe and stay right. I prayed for your safety and that of your family. WE THE PEOPLE are watching and trying our best to understand and support. Right or wrong we hear your voice…
Those clowns in Oregon are getting frozen out of the very building they’re trying to occupy. Peaceful exit will follow. Black or Muslim occupation would have led to an armed stand off. Also they’re not fighting for “public land.” It’s federal land. Those of you that “love your country” should understand that the federal government is a hell of a lot more important AND powerful (with good reason) than the idiots in charge of their individual states.
Some of these state elected officials believe that a woman’s right to her body is less important than what a state legislator thinks should be her rights lol
This is fucking awesome. (Sorry for cursing)

The constitution, you should read it.
Thank you Drake Boscaino, I’ve not only read it but I’ve studied it a little as well, Sir. What is your interpretation, after your in depth legal analysis & what is your unbiased opinion on the topic? & I will ask you Sir, who is allowed to break the law and who isn’t? & who determines this?
