Thanks for the ping Nachum. Pinging a few others to this as well. This administration is completely lawless. It’s time to start demanding Obama’s resignation come November. Resign or impeach!

I am very familiar with the Utah, Idaho, and Nevada locations. The national monument designation there is not inappropriate. These lands already belong to all US citizens.

We know what happens to public land under state control. They end up being owned by the family trusts of partners of the largest law firms and the rat/repugnican thieves in the legislature like many US Senators from the western states .

How does a lawyer/legislator go from paying his student loans to being a US Senator worth nearly 200 million? Great stewardship of public resources of course.

Rangle Range State Park?....
Oprah Open Wilderness Area?...
Kenya Keys State Park?...
Muslim Mountain Range State Park?...

As Prof. H. Higgins once said, "By Jove, I think (s)he's got it!" Slight change of "State" to "National", though.

I’m bflr for now, and thanks for the ping LucyT. When I come back in a few hours, I want read the whole article, but for now wondering why the Fed has ANY jurisdiction WITHIN a State without permission of the State.

The Fed does not in essence own the State. The State in essence owns the Fed. The Fed was created as....say a management company for the Union of the States, and operates at the will of the States. So what’s going on here? Looks to me as though the Fed is standing on a very thin, fragile platform comprised of precedent...only because they got away with it before.

It’s time to kick some Fed butt out of the business of the States me thinks.

This is an old BLM map. If we could add the Obama list to it, it would really be eye popping.

Wow. It's already eye-popping. I had no idea the Feds had control over that much land.

1. Nevada 84.5%

2. Alaska 69.1%

I'm guessing that would explain some of the animosity between Harry Reid and Sarah Palin.

Zero’s real name is Obamugabe, after his hero from the impoverished Zimbabwe (it was Rhodesia when it was an affluent country).
