I love how you think extortion is ok and also somehow invalidates the supreme law of the land. |
Eh dude. You are the one supporting Cliven Bundy's 'right' to extort the government by threatening to kill federal agents. |
What's more, there was no extortion to begin with. If there was, the deal would be simply legally unenforceable and the states could have it annulled in court and ownership of all unappropriated land signed over to the states. The states are not challenging the deal, though, because no extortion took place.
