If there is no legitimate constitutional purpose for the feds owning the land, then states, buy it back if it was purchased or reclaim it if it wasn't - either way STATES RECLAIM THE LAND the feds unconstitutionally possess. And don't let the feds have any more without full disclosure and a public debate.

Here is a map of federally owned land, but it is TEN YEARS OLD.

In the vast majority of cases, at least in the Midwest and West, the land in question never belonged to the states. It was part of the public domain and was never purchased by individuals.

With the exception of HI, which has a unique history, I'm unaware of any state where public domain land was transferred to the states.

US Constitution: 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

The Government Just Grabbed Yet More Land - The Feds Now Own Close to a Third of American Soil

Very misleading title. I seriously doubt the feds acquired any land by this "grab," the Congress simply changed the "Rules and Regulations" under which some of it operates, as specifically authorized by the Constitution.

I might disagree with their policy choices, but when the Congress makes decisions about how to use federal property, they're entirely within their authority.

STATES RECLAIM THE LAND the feds unconstitutionally possess.

Would be interested where you find this in the Constitution.

As was pointed out in the Bundy ranch confrontation, the land belongs to the people. The federal government manages a third of it for us. One of the ranchers being interviewed insisted on this, and the federal guy agreed. It’s all on the video.

Did the feds pay for this land as required by the Constitution’s Clause 17 of Section 8 of Article I and / or the eminent domain provision of the 5th Amendment?

And if this land was purchased from a state, did the state legislature consent to the deal as required by Clause 17?

Nothing like a government that can rip the money from the people through confiscatory taxation then turn around and “buy” their lands out from under them.

The federal government was not supposed to own ANY lands within any State outside of DC.
