The map reminds me of a distant kingdom (DC) and it’s far flung “colonies”, the West. Why does the federal government need to possess all this land that rightfully belongs to the individual states?
Greg Abbott, TX Attorney General and candidate for governor, has unfurled the “Come and Take It” flag and promised to be there to defend 90,000 acres of borderland between Texas and Oklahoma. Yesterday, the BLM decided it didn’t need that land after all. It would have been poor “optics” to for slavering BLM dogs to attack a man in a wheel chair.
Maybe the “penumbras” from the Kelo v. City of New London Supreme Court decision can embolden the states to just take the Federal land.
Good for the goose, etc.
If it spurs (pun intended) the western states into action then this may be the best thing (yet) to come out of the Bundy standoff.
They are rescinding their loan of the land to the feral government.
Are we the United States

Are we the Imprisoned States
