States Rights and Mountain Heights

The brouhaha over the renaming of Mt. McKinley (Denali) raises a couple of interesting questions: 1. Isn't the Republican Party the party of states' rights?  Shouldn't they applaud an effort by a state to prevent an over-reaching federal government foisting a disagreeable situation on them?   2. How did a prospector, who certainly had no claim to all, or maybe any, of Mt. McKinley, get to name it?  We've already got a mis-named pair of continents because an Alsatian map guy had his own little piece of fun with his distant buddy Amerigo.  Can I name the next hill I see for Bernie Sanders?  I'd also invite Chris Christie to name something after Bruce Springsteen -- maybe Trenton?  But I think any state should have the right to veto naming anything else "Trump this or Trump that" -- except maybe a small Hawaiian volcano. 3. There are a number of interesting possibilities for salving Ohio's wounded pride. Alaska could select a nice chunk of territory of about 44,000 square miles, and name it Ohio.  That would give Ohio two areas, each the size of its teeny little state (6.7% of Alaska).  Given global warming, it might be nice for it to have a northern outlet -- though if the Republicans have their way, the new Ohio might not only have a coastline, but be completely underwater. 4. If height's the issue, let Ohio name its highest point -- Campbell Hill elev. 1549 feet -- Mt. McKinley.  That'll show Alaska.
