" It's time that Americans wake and exercise their brain before wasting a vote on such ignorant and self serving politicians that are doing nothing but destroying and giving away this country one bad decision after another."
I'm not sure I understand how that works. How does one destroy or give away parts of this country, by lawfully creating areas which are protected against exploitation?
The creation of National Monuments was authorized by the 1908 Antiquities act, which was passed by Congress, and signed by the President.
"In response to Roosevelt's declaration of the Grand Canyon monument, a putative mining claimant sued in federal court, claiming that Roosevelt had overstepped the Antiquities Act authority by protecting an entire canyon. In 1920, the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Grand Canyon was indeed "an object of historic or scientific interest" and could be protected by proclamation, setting a precedent for the use of the Antiquities Act to preserve large areas.[8] Federal courts have since rejected every challenge to the President's use of Antiquities Act preservation authority."
I think the Founders would think that the Constitution had been faithfully followed in this process. It must be galling to understand that.
