Re: Government Land Ownership by State -> SNETNEWS Mailing List Hi Bob, I can't even come up with a rebuttal to this - all I can say is "WOW"!!!!! May I refer to The Constitution, Article One, Section 8, Clause 17.... To excercise 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 the 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 Builldings;-And May I now, for sake of our discussion, assume that the 80.89% of the Sovereign State of Nevada that is federally owned 1. sits outside of the 'ten miles square' of DC and 2. that this land is not covered by one or more 'forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-Yards or/and other needful buildings.' If my assumptions are correct, then where is the constitutionality of federal ownership of 'rocks & dirt' except for bureaucratic control as in The Klamath Basin criminal actions?
