Cliffs: The BLM wants to use the excuse of a dispute in the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma to seize private property.

Should the militias that assisted Bundy assist the ranchers here? Per the Constitution, it is actually illegal for the feds to own land except:
quote:
“In Texas,” Miller says, “the BLM is attempting a repeat of an action taken over 30 years ago along the Red River when Tommy Henderson lost a federal lawsuit. The Bureau of Land Management took 140 acres of his property and didn’t pay him one cent.”
Miller referred to a 1986 case where the BLM attempted to seize some of Henderson’s land. Henderson sued the BLM and lost 140 acres that had been in his family for generations. Now the BLM is looking at using the prior case as a precedent to claim an additional 90,000 acres.
quote:
Congressman Mac Thornberry (R-TX) represents the ranchers in this region of north Texas. According to Thornberry’s legislative analysts, the issue of the ownership of this land dates back to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. When the BLM made the claim on Henderson’s land, their position was that Texas never had the authority to deed the land to private parties and therefore it would fall under federal control.

I expect Texas to put up a fight while Oklahoma cowers in the corner.

Another Obama power grab?

This is worse than the Nevada deal. This is taking privately owned land from people who pay property tax on it. There will be a fight if they try to do this.
The border dispute is a govt problem and needs to be settled without taking private land. Once settled if land previously deeded by texas is deemed on the Oklahoma side then Ok should be required to issue a deed on that property at no expense to the owner.
The land owners are not in violation of any laws and do not deserve to lose their property
