I don't recall reading anything anywhere in the US Constitution that allows the Feds to control forest land, or national monuments - except for a very few and specific purposes. The government SHOULD be required to get out of the 'landlord' business ASAP.
BTW, how many folks know that the original purpose of National Forests was to ensure that we had a good supply of lumber, and that those who set it up actually WANTED logging in the National Forests? Not some enviro-wacko greenie never-touch-the-forest primitive wilderness policy.
