Imagine what EPA could do with a little more historical research and a continuing lack of concern
for FedGov's legitimacy. Perhaps CT and MA gun laws now apply anywhere FedGov wants them to.

“Why is the EPA altering state boundaries in Wyoming - and reversing over 100 years of established law?”
Because “he won”, that’s why.

By what authority does an administrative agency transfer American sovereignty away ?
It will stop when the UN's Agenda 21 is fully implemented -- unless the American people wake up and stop it themselves. They are still very much asleep.

“This should be a concern to all citizens because, if the EPA can unilaterally take land away from a state, where will it stop?” Governor Matt Mead said in a press release on January 6. “
Geez, you’d think a Governor would have a unilateral of his own to answer with. Instead he sounds like some kind of bystander taking notice and commenting.
Texas will be the first to leave the union, and the rest of the red states will gleefully follow. The blue states will be left to struggle on their own.
Team BO is, as Charles Krauthammer has so perfectly pointed out, is lawless.
Law is defined moment by moment in this perverted time of cult worship of pretend leaders.
No media questioning is even fathomed in this day, only a repetition of the regime’s talking points.
Section 3 - New StatesNew States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.
If the EPA is taking land of one state and giving it to another state, Article IV Section 3 lays out that the legislatures of the states involved must approve of it, as well as Congres.
Why isn't Wyoming rushing to the Supreme Court to put a stop to this?

US Constitution, Section 6, Clause 2: This Constitution ...and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
There were an awful lot of treaties made "under the Authority of the United States" with Indian tribes. Just about every one of them was broken. A strict reading of the Constitution would seem to say all those broken treaties are still "the supreme law of the land," trumping any state laws to the contrary.
I'm not sure whether this clause makes it clear if a law passed by Congress can override a Treaty.
This is happening because states have been negligent in stopping federal overreach. Give an inch, they take a mile.
Don’t we still have a Bureau of Indian Affairs? Isn’t this their job? And if not, what are we still paying them for?
ping!

Treaties with foreign governments (like Indian tribes) require approval of the Senate.
This is an unConstitutional act.
...aw screw it, no one is listening...
Wyoming Governor Matt Mead evidently hasn’t studied the Constitution which he swore to protect and defend. Otherwise, he would be able to stop the EPA in its tracks by arguing the following.
To begin with, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from politicians like Gov. Mead, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not nonelected government bureaucrats. So Congress has a monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not.
In fact, by unconstitutionally delegating federal legislative / regulatory powers to nonelected bureaucrats like those running the EPA, corrupt Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of the statutes referenced above.
And even if Congress had the constitutonal authority to delegate federal legislative powers to nonelected bureaucrats, it remains that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate environmental issues. So EPA is exercising regulatory powers that Congress doesn’t even have.
What a mess! :^(
So politicians like Gov. Mead deserve to tremble in their boots as a consequence of not taking the responsibility to find out what the under 30 pages of the Constitution actually says about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
