Utah AG Plans to Sue Obama Over National Monument
Newsmax ^ | Dec. 29, 2016 | Joe Crowe

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes will sue President Barack Obama for designating over 1.6 million acres as national monument land, he said Wednesday, according to The Hill.

Obama designated land in Utah and Nevada, including the Bears Ears area in southeastern Utah, as national monuments, which would protect two areas that are rich in Native American artifacts from mining, oil and gas drilling.

He’s only jealous. Always wanted to be a cowboy but never made the grade. Woe is the West. Can we hang on for three more weeks? The Calvary will be arriving soon.

You are entirely right... all this crap Obama is doing is about settling scores and screwing America. Not a single move he has made is in the interest of helping this country or it’s citizens.

A day after the UN/Israel resolution debacle we have this federal land grab. Someone needs to take this community organizer to the woodshed.

Don't sue Obama. Just tell him that the state will disregard his ruling.

I wish states would simply have the guts to tell the Feds to pound sand, and stop accepting federal money.

The landbelongs to the people of the State of Utah - not the United States. We need Constitutional Justices in all judicial positions, especially the Supreme Court.

It surely does and that's why I'm supporting our AG to go ahead and sue Barky...at least file the papers...

Barky is so weak and spineless, this isn't him doing this, this has got to be someone else...have you EVER heard him in 8 years say or do something like this? NO, and he won't either, he's a ‘community irater’ and that is all he is, has been and will be until someone shuts him up...

Rumor here in Utah is Mike Lee will be appointed to the Supreme Court...his brother Thomas is our Utah Supreme Court Judge and a mighty fine one at that...just hope if this is true, little Lee will follow as good as his Brother has...

Do you even know what "Calvary" is?

Wasn't Mike Lee an Anti-Trumper -Mitt Romney guy?

If I'm wrong about that, I apologize in advance.

“Rumor here in Utah is Mike Lee will be appointed to the Supreme Court”

Actually for this issue that would be a problem because unlike the Rat Judges ours recuse themselves when they should.

Yes, he was...and we took him and James Evans to court and sued to get the ‘voter fraud’ counts that were given to Ted Cruz back to Trump...

If you remember on the Convention Floor the night that it was announced all 40 delegates were for Trump, Mike Lee and James Evan had their little say...

But if you look at Mike Lee’s record in the Senate he has stayed with the Constitution...I think most of this was RAT Romney and both of them being Mormons...they do stick together...unfortunately...

Do I like it, I don’t know...if he proves to be like his brother Thomas, then we will see how I feel, but do I trust any of these ‘never trumpers’ absolutely NOT!!!

Well if he's that easily influenced by the likes of Mitt Romney, he shouldn't be appointed to the U.S.Supreme Court.

He's another one who didn't care for the opinion of the voters.

Mike Lee ‏@MikeLeeforUtah
Donald Trump is a distraction.
Time for him to step aside so we can focus on winning ideas that will carry Republicans to a victory in Nov.

It is that. The whole state is beautiful.

You are bringing up some memories for me. My wife and I backpacked into Grand Gulch to see ruins and hiked up Mule Creek to see other ruins. My son and I hiked up a different branch of Mule Creek and climbed up one side of the canyon wall and hiked over the high ground between branches of Mule Creek to oversee the other branch. Mule Creek and Grand Gulch are in the new park and were previously in BLM land. Much of the new park consists of BLM land.
