Good choice. I'm not sure that we disagree. Aggressive federal policies and inept legal reasoning set the stage for radical and unreasoned doctrinal change from the two federal property categories actually in the Constitution. In 1976 the Supreme Court took it one step further when it revolutionized the property clause doctrine in Kleppe v. New Mexico. Now for the bad news. Federal land ownership has been a contentious issue since the early 1800's. There is little political will from the legislative branch, judicial branch or executive branch to make any changes. And since Trump's nominee for interior secretary likes federal lands, I don't see a shift in policy happening anytime soon.  Government ownership of land occurs in just about every other country in the world, so its not unprecedented. Bringing things full circle, how is this choking the life out of our liberty & economy? (But honestly, this article is dead, so on to the next one?)
