Selling Utah Land

The US can not sell any BLM land that is in Utah and keep all the profits. 5% has to go to the state school fund according to Utah Enabling Act and Utah State constitution. 

The 5% applies to any public land claimed by the Feds in Utah. 

I for one argue the Feds are violating US art 1 sec 8, para 17 and equal footing for them to keep it, other than for forts, etc that the Utah Legislature has stated by law that the feds can control.
