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.

Are all the military bases federal ?

If so then it sounds like CA is trying to get all the land it can , and it certainly operates as if they are another country.

If the federal land is put up for sale, let the highest bidder win. If that happens to be California, fine.

And what happened to Sessions, last month going to Sacramento and NOTHING since. No indictments, no arrests, no raids. The Oakland mayor happily continuing on unscathed, the AG's illegal family not arrested and deported, etc. NOTHING.

“California Governor Jefferson Davis Brown?”

Out here we refer to Brown as “Jerry The Fairy!” His last opponent’s campaign slogan was “If It’s Brown, Flush It!”

giving [California] the power to override the sale of federal lands,

Wow! Sell something that doesn't belong to you, or stop the sale of something that doesn't belong to you. Ain't there a law against that?

Make California pay all the expenses. Then Clawback all the money they gave illegally to Obamacare recipients. Make California pay dearly.

Nonsense! I only want to purchase that land so I can gather and sell more spotted owl eggs to restaurants.

Not enforcing the rule of law is essentially condoning bad behavior. Someone needs tomotigate unlawful behavior. Maybe Trump can assign someone like Chris Christie to enforce laws that Sessions is overlooking.

Selling 1.7 acres in the San Fran - Oakland - San Jose area today would net enough to buy the entire Ponderosa back in 1880.
