You and I and just about everyone here agrees. Except for a few government hacks on here that like to post to get responses.

The question they cant answer is; what does art 1 sec 8 the 17th enumerated power say? It says, the FEDERAL government can not retain any land other than what is listed.

They answer by saying..OH THE TREATY! But the Treaty! When Nevada became a state, all that land goes to them and IF they passed, in their constitution saying otherwise, then, their state constitution needs to be corrected.

NO! That is not what they say. They say that that language is specific to:

“all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be,”

Big freeping difference.

The words "Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo" have started to make my stomach heave every time I come in contact with them. As if some blasted treaty trumps the right of the citizens!
