Supreme Court has already ruled that the Feds own the Malheur refuge.

Twice. http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2016/01/supreme_court_already_ruled_th.html#incart_river_mobile_home

****
Occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge question whether the federal government has unequivocal legal rights to own and manage that land, without regard to the wishes of local property owners and ranchers.

Improbably, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on exactly that question, specifically regarding the lands of the original Malheur national refuge -- twice.

It doesn't matter what the Bible actually says. The only thing that matters is what these people BELIEVE the Bible says.

Same with the Constitution: It doesn't matter what the Constitution actually says. The only thing that matters is what these people BELIEVE the Constitution says.
