I wonder if this allowed people with mineral rights to now legally force renegotiations with oil/gas lease companies to pay more, instead of having a lifetime lock on the percentage they pay?
You may have to challenge "General Mining Act of 1872" which is likely also unconstitutional for imposing Federal "rules and regulations" on sovereign states. SOVEREIGN means SUPREME. Federal gov't is subservient to the states, not their master or owner.

That is a good thought that I didn't consider.
