“The States have jurisdiction over lands within their borders, and frankly the Feds only have the rights GIVEN TO THEM by the US Constitution.”

From the Enabling Act ( http://archives.utah.gov/research/exhibits/Statehood/1894text.htm ), approved July 16, 1894, for admitting Utah into the Union: “That the people inhabiting said proposed State do agree and declare that they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within the boundaries thereof;”

U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 3: “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;”

What is the definition of unappropriated? CONGRESS shall have the powers to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations on property BELONGING TO THE UNITED STATES. Number one Congress makes the rules. Number two, they make the rules on land belonging to them. Any person reading the Constitution who is not a lawyer can see that Federal land holding is limited for necessary usage for military, post offices and the land around DC to establish the capitol.
