There's no constitutional authority for the feds/Congress to have ever establish the Antiquities Act. The powers of the Congress are limited and enumerated in Article One Section Eight and some of the amendments. An Antiquities Act can only become constitutional law by a constitutional amendment.

Of course the antiquities act is constitutional.

Of course those are simply political opinions/decisions delivered up by partisan ideologues, appointed by a partisan ideologue and confirmed by other partisan ideologues any resemblance to actual constitutional relevancy is of course accidental.

Neither you or any lawyer or judge can point to any authority in the Constitution for the Congress to add powers to the Presidency without a constitutional amendment. That my friend is an elementary common sense constitutional truism.

You describe what politicians got away with, not what is constitutional. The Constitution describes the limited reasons the federal government can own land. A law cannot constitutionally change the Constitution's limits.

Utah is such a gorgeous state. It would be a shame if that national treasure was ruined.

That's right. If the government doesn't seize the land it's lost forever. In fact, the government should seize everything, including your home. It's so lovely, it's a shame others can't enjoy it.
