Then there was this, and much closer to home.
"A lot of BLM status quo supporters have recently accused me of being a "crackpot" lawyer, and even, most hilariously, of being perhaps the world's first anti-liberal hipster. They say that I am spreading misinformation by claiming the BLM can effectively write law and govern private property.
I submit to them exhibit B:" -

For those who don't know, the BLM does function in the way that the guy in my previous video described. So does the BATFE, EPA, etc. They are administrative bodies who report to cabinet Secretaries under the Executive. There is Congressional oversight of these agencies, through the chambers' respective committees, but have you ever tried unringing a bell that you couldn't find, much less the person who really rang it? (The Fast & Furious, Benghazi, or IRS scandals, for example) Their policies, as they are written internally, are law insomuch as the law which granted them their authority also granted them the authority to create and pass provisions and directives through which they function. When you define roles and responsibilities broadly, you leave a lot of room for error and abuse. If you think that the "out here" civilian legal world is a deep, dark, forest full of **** that wants to eat you, take a stroll through these bureaucratic agencies' "channels" sometime. (Hell, ask any vet here about how pleasant the VA is to deal with)
I'm in the same boat as many: In the middle shaking my head at both parties to varying degrees. The people's problem is that they've just plain had enough of the bullsh!t. The government's problem is that when all your solutions are hammers, all of your problems look like nails.
