Please cite the section in the Constitution authorizing the President authority over Federal lands, waters, and territories.While I agree with your point, unfortunately the precedent was set by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase.

This leaves the entire Left Coast open for future offshore oil drilling operations.
(Best Monty Burns voice): Eeeeexellent!

While I agree with your point, unfortunately the precedent was set by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase. Not true. Jefferson negotiated a deal and signed it, contingent upon approval by Congress as a treaty.

Mixed feelings. I don't oppose this, but it sounds like a publicity stunt...

Actually a land grab, this action goes way beyond the 200 mile limit and links up Hawaii and Midway as a single US entity? No?

All this land is free, and the cost of maintaining this will be free, and Bush is a conservative. (sarc)

I'm wondering more what the charter, party and fishingboat captains and crews are going to say, now that thy're going to be out of work.There's a LOT more ocean available in which they can ply their trade.

That was my reaction, too. I guess what the President did was excellent, farsighted, and commendable, but I would also settle for some more good old USMCRs who would be there when you and I need them. Of course, both interpretations could be reality. Indeed they are not mutually inconsistent realities. It was the Marines like my late father-in-law who did the job out there in the Pacific that needed to be done, and wherefrom the possibility of this other marine reserve now emanates at our fiat.

Don't you think it probably means Rove can't test his hurricane-making machine in this one area? That's all it is, I think.

Last year I visited So Cal and I noticed a sign at Camp Pendleton where it said that they are keeping the Southern California environment pristine. It is true, the camp has kept a large amount of the California environment safe from development.
Now, I think the libs want to get their hands on the land to develop it.
To: ConservativeMind
Unsure what the watermelons will say about it, but it's unenforceable.
It's mostly in international waters and how are they going to stop the Jap/Russian/Korean Fishermen from netting these areas anyway? Start a war every week?
Nice thought, it's meaningless paper.

Just another vast area where some shiny new useless government apparatus can bust peoples balls. Hopefully the fines issued to citizens by the new apparatus will go directly into their operating budget, thereby allowing the hiring of every retarded relative of the managers for decades to come.
Such things are intended to promote the growth of government at the expense of individual liberty, nothing more.

Unless there are salmon there I won't worry too much about it.
