The Federal government has been seeking to expand it’s power for years, and President Obama has insisted that because he was a professor of Constitutional law he somehow is more equipped and capable to teach us how this country should run and why we must obey whatever he says.
He therefore jammed Obamacare through Congress with not one Republican supporter, and then somehow conned the Supreme Court into affirming that U.S. citizens MUST purchase insurance or be fined. This is typical of the lawless Obama administration, and we have truly become a banana republic, though that is not how the Constitution is written.
See the excellent video on page 2 regarding Constitutional limitations that are being violated.
The Federal governments seems to think that the citizens only own property leave of the government, and in essence that is true.
If a person buys a piece of property and pays property taxes on it, that is a form of rent paid to the government, and the government can seize that property and push the rightful owner off of that land if the taxes are not paid. How then does someone own a piece of property if the government can demand rent and evict if that rent or tax is not paid? It is stunning when seen this in the broad context, and true students of the Consititution will recognize the con that we have all bought in to.
The latest land and power battle is over father and son ranchers in Oregon by the name of Hammond went to jail on an arson charge. In 2002 and 2006, these ranchers decided to clear some brush and overgrowth on their ranch land by conducting a controlled burn, a very common activity in large areas such as their ranch in Oregon. The fire accidentally spread onto federal lands but was put out by the ranchers without any help from the feds. However, the Federal government still charged the ranchers with arson and are determined to jail them for 5 years each. Incidentally, the Federal land is flourishing, is now less of a wild fire hazard, and no properties were damaged in the incident.
The Constitutional attorney in the following video cites the Hammond case, but then goes on to instruct us on why it is only a small part of the huge overreach of the Federal government, as shown by the Constitutional limitations that the Federal government has been ignoring.
Watch video, page 2:
The idea that federal government cannot own land outside DC and military bases is absurd. Are we seriously saying that Yosemite and Yellostone and Statute of Liberty must be handed over to…who ???
This would mean all the Homestead Act farms were never truly given to the farmers because the government did not own them to give. The original owner (whoever that was) would still be the owner as would the original owner of the rairoad grants.
Title lawyers would need to find the true owners of all land the federal government ever owned and return it to them.
People claiming the land is owned by “”we the people” are just shouting a meaningless slogan unless they mean a transfer deed would need 300 million signatures.
You are obviously brainwashed by the government and part of the problem that is occuring in this ONCE great nation being taken over by a tyranical government that does not know their place here
You need to understand that the state allowed the federal government those resources. In 1872 100 years pass the time when our Constitution was created by the states, was Yellowstone created. SO this goes to show that the land grab started back then. The point is they did not have the power to create a park that went across different states – even back then. NY accepted the statue NYC took possesion of the island in in 1738, well before the Consitution was written – however it was not FEDERAL. NYC was a city. Then is passes to NY after the revolutionary war. Again this is a state – NOT FEDERAL government. In fact the Fed government wasn;t even made yet.On 1794 money went to fortify what was know as Bedloe island (not yet liberty island as it is called today). The military did a post there until 1937 – again if you remember what she said – Port and post, with the state’s permission can the federal gov use. So they asked NY state for this and it was granted. I think you should really review the time line of things before making comments. It took me literally 10 minutes of research and writing to debunk tow of your ideas.
read Article 1 section 8, clause 17 of the U. S. Constitution sir. It will unveil just how deceitful your government has been -long before you were even born.
And THAT is the focus of all the fuss today
If “we the people” is a “meaningless comment”,we`re in BIG trouble.
Just so you’ll know… the UN had control of MOST of our national Parks AND the Statue of Liberty … they were given over to the control of the UN by treaty back in the day of Wet Willy .. they are called National Heritage sites … go research it online William, and think about THAT for a while!
The Western lands were placed IN TRUST with the federal Govt by the states, and they have broken fiduciary trust on the lands trust just as they did on the SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST!! it’s not too difficult to pull up the long sad story Check it out, you’ll be amazed!
…
It is almost like you didn’t even watch the video. Kris Anne Hall answered all your questions clearly. Re-watch the video and become enlightened. I also suggest everyone subscribe to her website and learn the constitution.
They’re fighting for the lands the Feds say they “own” to go back to control of the individual States. The Fed. Government should NOT own any land other than the 10 square miles of Washington DC and then land the STATES give them for forts, military bases, ports, etc. Read the Constitution! Why do you think it’s called the Bureau of Land MANAGEMENT and not the Bureau of Land OWNERSHIP? But the BLM treats people (ranchers) like the own the land and burn down the ranches, fences, cattle (alive, mind you!!!), and now the Feds are actually murdering these people for standing their ground and saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! No one was ARMED!!! Lavoy had his HANDS UP!!! The Fed. Gov. is NOT gonna get out of this one, not with even uninvolved law enforcement saying they murdered him….
I believe the Federal government can acquire land but has no authority to KEEP IT. So when it sells parcels it received that is legal. Even if to the military Branches The process of Keeping land indefinitely has long been thought of by Many Constitutional Scholars to be unconstitutional.Ever since the Time of the Louisiana Purchase.
actually dipshit that’s exactly what it means before flipping your lips do some research. the constitution specifically states what land the fed can own and limits it. all other land is owned by the state go read this and get informed .https://www.nccs.net/2002-07-the-u-s-constitution-and-federal-lands.php
Absurd, you say? Have you ever in your life actually read the U.S. Constitution? Yes, we are saying that Yosemite, Yellowstone, etc must be handed over TO THE STATES. As to the Homestead Act farms, you are correct.
The Constitution states quite plainly that the fed gov may own 10 square miles for a seat of government, land for forts, ports and dockyards….and that is all.
FALSE!!!! Start with the simple explanation and work out! http://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2016-01-04/key-things-to-know-about-federal-land-ownership-in-the-west

Maybe the wild horses could be left to their freedom again . This is a double standard the gov’t is forcing us to live, Totally not right!
After reading all these posts I can’t believe anyone watched the video. I’m not trying to be hurtful but this is to important of an issue to just say oh well. Please watch again and try to understand what she is saying. We need to know the constitution and stop relying on our Representatives to protect our rights. The lady knows the constitution her website is krisAnnehall.com she has a lot of great videos and is passionate and not boring.
She puts saint Cruz, to shame.
And yes, property should be returned. Staring with the Natives. The government and corporations are destroying this earth. Pumping chemicals into rivers and aquifers, destroying forests, chemical weather modifications. They take lands turn it into federal land and sell it to outside foreign interests for digging, drilling, logging, minerals… it has to stop.
Obama was not a professor of the constitution. He was asked to talk about race not the constitution. Check on Allen Wests site for the truth.
She is right on with what she is saying problem is the stuff that is shown to the students in history class is wrong. People realy need to go back and read the old history and stop using wikipedia for info. That site is open for any one to change the info at any time.
Civics classes haven’t been offered in 40 plus years. You get faux history, and forget having to learn, or memorize, the basics.
