Transfer of Federal Lands to the States

Did you miss the part where I actually went through this with the state of AZ and it was cleared up in, roughly, 3 months? I consider that "facts".

No, that is not a fact regarding whether you'd have more or less success with the federal government. Please come up with a fact with regard to that specific hypothetical case.

Actually, I had a similar issue with the federal government. They wanted me to get a permit for my driveway which had been accessing the road in front of my house for years which it turned out belonged to the federal government. But to get a permit, I had to show there was no other potential access route, and since my house was on a corner lot, they argued they wouldn't give me a permit since there was an alternate access. That would have meant spending tens of thousands of dollars building a new driveway and restoring the old one. (BTW, no such thing as adverse possession when it comes to federal lands and rightfully so.)

So it took me a couple of phone calls with the feds and within less than a week, I had the situation resolved. Surely much faster than the three months you took. Plus, no need to get my elected officials involved. Seems the federal government was far more responsive than your dealings with AZDOT.

As far as your Shoshone question, this has no bearing on what the states would do with the lands once they got them. Anyone can find court cases with which they disagree. Redress is to change the law, not to disobey it by grazing cattle on public lands without a permit and not expect a response by the government. Otherwise, anyone could just go build a house anywhere on BLM land they wanted.
