Under what provision of the Constitution does the Federal Government have a right to own and control all the red areas east of the Mississippi?
The stuff east of the Mississippi is mostly military bases.
Due process? Do you even have a clue about what that is?
Yes. They had their day in court with representation.
Don’t get me wrong - there are many areas of land usage and rights that are problematic here in the West where I live. However, the Bundy’s stole from the taxpayers yet many view them as heroes. I am not as familiar with this situation, but it has been adjudicated and there are still appeals.
Using the logic of some here on FR I should just be able to go cut every tamarack and fir tree I want for firewood in the national forests that surround me simply because I live here. That is a recipe for anarchy. However, I do believe it would be appropriate to give the state governments where federal lands are located more say and oversight about how they are used for the benefit of all.
