Federal Land is Unconstitutional


Obama-Appointed Federal Judge Stifles Trump Admin In Opening Land For Coal Mining - Ignores Elephant In The Room, by Suzanne Hamner, 4/23/19.

It is particularly disturbing to read news articles where an elephant in the room is grossly ignored when covering the particulars of the story.  Too many American citizens are illiterate of the Constitution and ignorant of its tenets.  The media, particularly the alternative media, should be pointing out these elephants while covering the main story in order to demonstrate to the people the extent of the violations against the people the various levels of government commit.

The Daily Caller reported: A federal judge in Montana delayed a Trump administration attempt to open up more federal lands to coal mining Friday, The New York Times reported.

Exactly what "federal lands" does the federal government "own" in Montana?  According to Article I, Section 8, paragraph 16, of the Constitution of the united States of America, "To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of government of the united States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings; ...."  Other than land for these purposes, the Constitution prohibits the federal government from owning any land it can open to coal mining, create parks, or hold for any purpose.  Yet, the focus is on the continuing friction between the Obama administration and its appointed federal judges and the Trump administration.
