The Nazi State did not have sovereignty. The Iraqi State did not have sovereignty. Nor does the STATE OF TEXAS. STATE is a word synonomous with Government Entity. PEOPLE, as Individuals, have unalienable Rights that NO State, even with the support of a majority of its subjects, can violate with impunity. It is the duty, obligation, and responsibility of our Federal State to hold accountable to the Law any STATE that deprives Individuals of LIBERTY. (Liberty is the Right of the Individual to have the Law of our Federal Constitution protect the Individual from a STATE). The 10th Amendment simply means that unalienable Rights exist even if they are not secured by Federal and StateConstitutions, and laws made in pursuance thereof. ed@informed.org NO STATE HAS SOVEREIGNTY !!!

As a resident of central Utah, I'm in an area with an abundance of coal, oil, gas and shale, but we're surrounded by BLM and National Park lands further than the eye can see. These BLM lands should be turned over to the people of Utah, and other States likewise, so that we can put to better use our resources. Most States would be in much better shape if they controlled the lands within their own borders, but I fear any increase in income to the feds would be used as an excuse by Congress to spend even more and still rack up debt on my kids backs. well said Dave.

I live at the base of the Book Cliff mtns in central Utah. Coal, gas, oil and shale are abundant all around down here but we're completely surrounded by BLM and National Park lands so the State can't get most of these resources. I'd be against doing anything in the National Parks, but the BLM controls the lions share of the lands. I agree with you that the States, or at least most of them, would be much better off if they controlled the lands within their borders. But I don't have any confidence the Congress wouldn't use more income as nothing more than an excuse to piss away even more money and continue racking up the debt. Well said Dave.

Does the Federal Govt. even pay property taxes to Utah? I watched congress debate on the floor of the house when it was disclosed that the Us governent as of this year owns almost 1/3 of the land in the US as of 2009. Perhaps if they sold off some of these assets a new 1.9 trillion increase in the debt ceiling would not be necessary? If the Feds would return the land to the States perhaps the States would not need as much help in balancing their budgets The Us Governent now owns 57.4% of the land mass in Utah, I wonder how much the State would recieve from either selling the land to the private sector or even leasing it to corporate interests?

It is against the founding principles of our country, but it's not unconstitutional, because in 1913, they changed the Constitution. State sovereignty is about us as individuals, and at it's core, it's about us taking responsibility for ourselves. We all say we want independence from the federal government, but how many of us are prepared to fund our retirements on our own? A small percentage at best. Our States cannot be independent of the feds until the citizens of each respective State are ready to be more independent ourselves.
