It's pretty easy for me:
- The Constitution says exactly what the Federal government is allowed to do
- It reserves everything not listed for the states and the people
- It never mentions national parks
I understand the pragmatic consideration for wanting the Feds to own it, but the philosophical case isn't there.
I don't want a political debate, though. It is sad that the residents of the states are essentially being double taxed for these parks to reopen. . . triple charged if they show up and pay fees to get in.
