Federal Land Policy and Management Act

Read a random definition: OPD

A quick definition of Federal Land Policy and Management Act:

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) is a law that gives the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) more power to manage public lands and resources. The goal is to use the land in many different ways while making sure it lasts a long time. Before this law, the government didn't have a good way to manage the land. This law also says when and how people can use the land, like for grazing or taking resources from it.

A more thorough explanation:

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) is a law that gives the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) more power to manage public lands and resources. The goal of the law is to make sure that public lands are used in a way that benefits everyone and is sustainable for the future.

Before this law was passed, Congress dealt with land issues one at a time. But the FLPMA created a system for managing all public lands together. The law gives the BLM the power to decide how and when public lands can be used, sold, or used for things like grazing.

For example, if a company wants to extract oil or gas from public land, they have to get permission from the BLM first. The BLM will make sure that the extraction is done in a way that doesn't harm the environment or other people who use the land.

Another example is grazing. Ranchers can use public land to graze their animals, but they have to follow rules set by the BLM. The BLM will make sure that the grazing is done in a way that doesn't damage the land or harm other people who use it.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
