The BLM has court orders on their side in this issue. Mr. Bundy has been free-loading grazing on public land for far too long; he should have been stopped long ago.
Guest is wrong, laws have changed and the open range is long gone; the lands are managed by the Federal government, not the State of Nevada.

Public safety concerns caused the BLM director to stop proceedings, but the case is very much alive and will eventually hit the courts.

Fracking was never an issue here. Senator Reid is not involved in the situation.

The BLM is doing a good job of taking care of America's lands. They are correcting old ills. In an area near my home town they are closing old mine entrances, and correcting over-grazing practices.
