Actually since the Federal Government is not allowed to own any land within a State but for that necessary for Forts, Ports, and other needful buildings BLM had no Constitutional authority to be there in the first place.

Article IV, Section 3 says otherwise.

That article you cite refers to Territories. A State is not a Territory. The LAW I cited refers land inside States.

See the discussions of the territory of Puerto Rico becoming a State to see the difference.

Once its a State the land is owned by the State and the Federal Govt is required to purchase it from the State with the consent of the State for the limited purposes as stated in Art 1. Your argument nullifies the specific language of this section and thus has no merit.
