Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how Bush's writing laws and
regulations now is going to hamper the new administration and congress? It's 37 days to the inauguration, so it's well under the 60 day requirement for these rushed-through laws to take effect. Plus, isn't some of this legislation subject to congressional voting/approval?

1. Some of the midnight regs that have been written will take a lot
to unwrite. Lots of legal wrangling involved, from what I've read. He's an epic failure.

However, every president has the ability to do this, and they do.

Ran across this yesterday: there is a way to undo the mess, if they use it.

3. Thanks for that link, babylonsister! I particularly like this bit:
"Congressional Democrats could even decide to bundle all last-minute rule changes into a single resolution so that they could be overturned en masse."

I just don't want the new administration bogged down with this crap.
