With tensions between ranchers and the federal government at an all time high, one state is considering taking the fight on behalf of it’s citizens to Washington D.C.
Inhabited by many of the people who have had their livelihoods threatened or outright destroyed by intrusive government practices, the state of Utah is debating whether to file a lawsuit against the feds in the state legislature. Such a lawsuit would challenge the legitimacy of the federal government’s claims to public lands in the state.
Naturally, the proposed case against Washington has sparked controversy amongst proponents of ranchers’ rights. Some argue that the costly nature of such a lawsuit – estimated to be $14 million – could end up hurting the state more than it helps, urging caution before they move forward with it.
Others like State Representative Mel Brown, however, say that it is unseemly to talk about people’s rights as if they were a matter of dollars and cents. “The cost in my mind shouldn’t even be a discussion. It’s trivial,” he said, before adding “How can you put price on self-determination and freedom?”

Better check and make sure it wasn’t sold to Russia by the Clinton’s!
Throw the suckers off our land.
the federals must be kicked out of all states, the only land they can own is in DC not all over the USA, so all fed land must be taken back by the states.
About time.
Arizona should do the same !
We can only hope, maybe these patriots won’t be in the spot they are in !
They should!!
Good idea.
Get the Federal governments hands off of everyone’s land or property. I don’t know if you have heard about it but there is a family right now who is in a big battle with the government over their property being taken by the government and one of the people of this family has already been killed by the people of our government just because they chose to try to take on the government in the same way that this state is about to, by suing the federal government, and no other way.
About time, the Feds would LOSE, they’re information violation of federal law!!!
