The feds layed claim to the south half of the river bed at the time SCOTUS was hearing the case back then in 1918 or 1924, I don't recall the exact year.

And supposedly, this was upheld in 1984 when the feds got the 140 acres.

These numbers, 90,000 acres and 136 linear miles of river, are scientific wild ass guesses(SWAG). Its a strip on land, undetermined at this point.

The 1984 (interesting year) case did not have Greg Abbott or Ted Cruz involved.

The Fed Gov is in Full Rogue mode. Long overdue cutting down to size defined in the Constitution.

It is TIME to DownSize DC. Close Entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments, including their SWAT Teams.

The Constitution's reservation of navigable waterways was for purposes of guaranteeing free trade across and between States. That implies that all they truly control is the surface plus the draft depth, not the banks.
