Theft by the Fedgov which has no right to hold property anyway, only enumerated powers
The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.Not trying to cause a fight, just for your information.
Article IV, Section 3.
Who owned the property when it was given to the settlers to homestead on ?
Ping!
I understand that this limitation/prohibition against Fed ownership of land goes all the way back to the late 1700s and are written into the Articles’ of Confederation which set the stage for the USA Constitution. Of course for people of the ilk of Reid and Obama and their enablers the Constitution only has meaning/effect since about the 1917s when ‘new world order’ politics of Wilson and now Reid, Obama,and Muslims like Jarette control the meaning of the Constitution.
