Trump administration sues California over federal land sales

The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against California over a state law giving it the power to override the sale of federal lands, the department announced Monday.

The suit marks the latest battle between President Trump and the nation's most populous state, where Democrats have tried aggressively to thwart the president's agenda. Last month, Sessions visited Sacramento to announce he was suing California over laws that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Under the law, which was passed in September, California has the first right to purchase federal lands or to arrange for a specific buyer. Lawmakers had expressed concerns that the Trump administration would allow more logging, oil drilling or development.

The Justice Department says California's law, which took effect Jan. 1, is delaying land sales -- even for projects that have been in the works for years -- and is depressing their value. The auction of 1.7 acres owned by the U.S. Postal Service was suspended when nobody bid, and a developer looking to purchase property at the now-closed Naval Air Station Alameda has requested a delay, the lawsuit contends.

Gov. Brown is the one who should apologize. He’s not fit to shine Davis’ shoes. Not really a southerner, just vote absentee from a Savannah address. But there it is, for what it’s worth.

Why is Trump deferring to the judicial system to handle these arrogant criminals? Use the military to arrest the governor and his henchmen and ship them to Gitmo for sedition.

Constitutional Crisis again? This a ham fisted way to deny the federal government its right of federal land.
