The BLM, the arm of the federal
government, released the cattle of Cliven Bundy and a battle was won.
The battle was not the issue of non-payment of grazing fees or the
protection of a desert turtle – it was that the federal government
refused to recognize that the Bundy family had that ranch and grazed
those lands since 1873 or 1877 (sources not sure which). In 1877, the federal government issued an act
that allowed ranchers like Bundy in 1877 to establish themselves. The battle was won, but the war protecting constitutional law, rights and liberties continues.
