If it's not under the sovereignty of the State, then it isn't part of the state.
If the situation alters the area the State's sovereignty applies to, then it is changing the borders of the state even if "not officially".
It is by the official actions "not officially" authorized by the Constitution that the federal government has grabbed at powers it does not legitimately have. The War on Drugs is a good example, a Constitutional amendment was required to authorize regulation of alcohol, yet no such amendment authorizes the War on Drugs... to such a degree that people now just take it for granted that such laws are legitimate. — it's the same with "federal land" and why the EPA's designations are so insidious: everyone assumes that the agency's involvement is legitimate.
Thanks for the ping. This is more insanity, out-of-control overreach, and constitutional trampling by the EPA. Wyoming’s Republican governor and two Republican Senators should be in every venue that has a microphone, screaming bloody murder while working 24 X 7 to fast-track through the judicial system all the way to the Supreme Court.
Kristallnacht is coming.
