Ammon and Ryan Bundy are headed to trial in Portland for their role in taking over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

The Bundys and their anti-government followers occupied the site for 41 days in January and February before surrendering.

The defense has indicated it will rely on novel legal challenges to persuade the jury.

Last week, in a court document, one of the Bundy attorneys argued the U.S. government has no jurisdiction in Oregon.

Ryan Bundy, who is acting as his own attorney, was caught planning to escape from the Multnomah County Detention Center by tying sheets together and scaling a wall, though he told jail personnel he was only "practicing tying knots".

The only question will be whether the occupiers prevented federal employees from doing their jobs. If found guilty of impeding workers, they could get up to six years in prison.

Altogether, 26 people were charged. In addition to the eight defendants facing trial this week, seven are set for trial in early 2017. The remainder have pleaded guilty, and one, Corey Lequieu, became the first defendant to be sentenced, given a 2-year term last month.

Cliven Bundy and four of his sons are set to go to trial next year in Nevada relating to the 2014 land takeover that brought the Bundys to the public’s attention.

As Cliven Bundy explained in several interviews, his war with federal rule began as a mission from God.

“The Lord told me, ‘This is your chance to straighten this thing up,’” he said.

At least he wasn't wearing pig socks or refusing to stand for the national anthem.

He just lowered the US flag and replaced it with these:

Funny how the white boys on JPP aren't crying about that.
 
I don't think they kept Fed. employees from working, as the place was closed. But, they should be liable for damages.

The staff had to be sent home because of the threats, the building was closed and the occupying rebels would have shot any employees trying to report to work.
