It’s wrong because in the two three cases mentioned that touch on this subject, they expand the power of the Fedgov to retain Territory land after it becomes a State.

This isn’t allowed for in the explicit language of the Constitution.

There have been links posted to the relevant court cases in some of these threads. I’ll see if I can dig back to them.

Nor do Courts get to re-write law. IMO, anyone spouting “case law” should be tried for treason.

Not joking.

You’re not a lawyer, are you? Case law is the very foundation of Anglo-American jurisprudence.
