A quick definition of public domain lands:

Public domain lands are pieces of land that belong to the United States government and are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. These lands were originally given to the government by the states and make up a big part of the Western States. There are rules about what people can do on these lands, like how much oil and gas can be leased and who can own them. Sometimes, the government may decide to sell or give away a piece of public domain land if it will help the country.

A more thorough explanation:

Public domain lands refer to any land or interest in land that is owned by the United States and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These lands were originally ceded to the federal government by the states and make up a significant portion of the country's landmass.

Today, most public domain lands are located in the Western States, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. These lands are subject to strict regulations and restrictions on their use, including limits on the amount of land that can be owned or controlled by individuals or corporations.

For example, under 43 CFR § 3101.2-1, no person or entity can own or control more than 246,080 acres of Federal oil and gas leases in any one state at any one time, with a maximum of 200,000 acres held under option.

The BLM may dispose of public domain lands if it is determined that doing so would serve the national interest. However, this process is subject to strict land use planning procedures established by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.

Overall, public domain lands are an important part of the country's natural resources and are managed carefully to ensure their preservation and responsible use.

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.
