Rancher challenging move to make 'vast swaths of land' unusable

The administration of Joe Biden many times has simply issued a new edict, or a new "definition" of words, to expand its authority and power.

But now a lawsuit has resulted, as a rancher is challenging Biden's arbitrary decision to put millions of acres out of reach for literally any use by calling it a national monument.

According to the Pacific Legal Foundation, Chris Heaton, a sixth-generation rancher, is suing for Biden's abuse of the Antiquities Act to call the million acres in Arizona a monument.

"The Antiquities Act exists to protect Native American archeological sites, not to give presidents unlimited power to declare vast swaths of land and sea out of bounds for productive use," explained Frank Garrison, a lawyer with the foundation.

"In our system of government, Congress makes the law and presidents are not allowed to ignore the constraints Congress places on their authority."

President shouldn't be allowed to overreach, but they certain have and do and Joe is no exception.
