Judge Andrew Napolitano appeared on Fox News to denounce the federal government’s operation against Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy, asserting that BLM agents should have been arrested for seizing his property and that the case represents a “line in the sand” for Americans who have had enough of big government tyranny.
Napolitano said the feds were forced to back down
because they had suffered a public relations nightmare, pointing out
that Bundy lost his case in a federal court but that the case should
have been tried in a state court.
“The federal judiciary should not be deciding what land
the federal government owns,” said Napolitano, adding that the feds
should have placed a lien against Bundy’s property to collect grazing
fees and not conducted a raid backed up by armed agents to seize his
private property.
“The government’s option is to take the amount of money
he owes them and docket it, that is file the lien on his property….the
federal government could have done that, instead they wanted this show
of force,” said Napolitano, adding, “They swooped in….with assault
rifles aimed and ready and stole this guy’s property, they stole his
cattle, they didn’t have the right to do that, that’s theft and they
should have been arrested by state officials”.
Napolitano also chastised the BLM’s ludicrous creation
of a ‘First Amendment Area’ outside of which free speech was banned.
Protesters completely ignored the zone and it was quickly torn down by
BLM officials after being widely derided in the media.
