>Pursuant to the Property Clause of the United States Constitution (Article 4, section 3, clause 2), Congress has the power to retain, buy, sell, and regulate federal lands, such as by limiting cattle grazing on them. These powers have been recognized in a long line of United States Supreme Court decisions.

So Congress and the Supreme Court, both overwhelmingly controlled by Republicans.

Wipe that egg off your face.

TIL that the Senate is "overwhelmingly controlled by Republicans."

Yeah, this guy has been spouting nonsense all over this comment section.

For anyone who cares about the truth, here’s the senate distribution:

Majority (51): Democratic (48) Independent (3)

Minority (49): Republican (49)
