The Act by which Utah became a state, 1894: “That the people inhabiting said proposed State to agree and declare that they forever
disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within the boundaries thereof; ... and that until the title thereto
shall have been extinguished by the United States, the same shall be and remain subject to the
disposition of the United States...”

What part of “forever” does the state legislature not understand?

From the Act:

“...and that until the title thereto shall have been extinguished by the United States,the same shall be and remain subject to the disposition of the United States...”

Question:

By what mechanism is title extinguished?

Maybe that is what the Utah folks are aiming for.

US Constitution Article 1, section 8

and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings

Unless those federal lands have forts, arsenals, or dock yards, what part of the constitution does the federal government not understand?

The act didn’t state that Utah agreed to capricious ongoing land grabs by the Federal Govt.

Well, Obola is rewriting the law, so why can’t Utah? BTW, “forever” can be litigated.

What part of Supremacy clause is not understood here?

A legislature is not restrained by the actions of a previous legislature. I assume that applies to Congress as well.
