Utah strikes back against feds with imminent domain

The federal government has shut down use and access to land in the 50 states for generations, but it has accelerated in recent decades.
The feds control almost 70% of the land in Utah and the state representatives are set to vote on a law allowing them to use imminent domain to take land from the feds in order to develop or use resources.
This is a backlash for seizures like those that took place under the Clinton administration when land holding caol reserves were locked up in order to aid corporations like the Lippo Group which happened to be able to supply coal to US power plants now that American coal was unavailable.
It just happens that some "really good" coal is located in an area that was "Protected" by the Clinton administration and environmentalists are going ballistic at the idea of even exploring there.
I don't know how much of the 1.9 million acres of land has coal and how much of that is the "pristine" landscape people gush about, but the stated opposition is that mining would "ruin" things there.

I hope Utah prevails in the inevitable court battle and other states follow.
It is high time we "Take Our Country Back" as the leftists put it.

Protecting our most dangerous border

Homeland security wants to renovate a barely used border crossing at a cost of $8M and want's a 4.9 acre piece of land from a neighboring farm as part of the renovation.
Neighbors and a former border guard agree that the crossing is so little used that it would be better to close it than spend millions on it.
They are only offering $39K for the land and the farmer claims that the reduction in he ability to grow grain for his cattle will cause the already struggling farm to go under.
The government is threatening to sieze the land through imminent domain.
So, where is this important border crossing?
Somewhere in Texas, Arizona, or California?
No!
It is in Vermont.
