Lamborn didn't stop anything - it was already law!

Last Monday night, Congressional members pushing Pinon Canyon expansion, argued against the amendment on the grounds that it was already law! It is already law.

They actually passed out a piece of paper that cited the part of U.S. Code that applies saying, “10 USC 2664 clearly states that “no military department may acquire real property not owned by the United States unless the acquisition is expressly authorized by law.”

Those last 4 words are key. They have NO funds for expansion (thanks to the funding ban). They have no authorization for expansion. They cannot expand. Expansion is not going to happen. They have neither funds nor authorization, so they need to move on.
