"Reid was asking for a measure that would infuriate conservatives in a state where rancher Cliven Bundy won acclaim for refusing to pay federal grazing fees, and another set of ranchers defied grazing restrictions that the Bureau of Land Management imposed because of a recent drought.
As soon as Friday, according to people briefed on the decision, about 704,000 acres in central Nevada will receive federal protection, in no small part because Harry Reid loves the desert, thinks it’s beautiful and pictures it in his mind when he’s trying to fall asleep at night. It also demonstrates the political power Reid has amassed over more than three decades in office and the important relationship he has with a president whose legacy he has helped to build."
