Go Utah!!

Ivory and other supporters of the land transfer say the state’s legal claim lies in the Utah Enabling Act, which led to Utah’s statehood in 1896.

A truly odd notion.

Utah Enabling Act: "That the people inhabiting said proposed State do 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"

Curious the legal theory that uses this act to say the land belongs to the state.

I have no problem with Congress turning the land over to the state, just with the idea that the state has a legal or constitutional right to it.

this was settled when
Utah became a state.
