Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chairman Richard Shelby is watching banking and consumer finance regulations that come under his panel's purview. “We don’t know what he’s coming with. This president has set a precedent that none of us has seen in recent years,” the Alabama Republican said in an interview. “He’s tried to do everything by regulation rather than legislation.”
To be sure, there are 1,500 proposed rules and regulations in the pipeline, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget. That includes over 700 dubbed “economically significant” in the key final stage, and Katz said those are the ones to watch.
Jerry Ellig, a senior researcher at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, has found that even though George W. Bush administration officials tried to tamp down midnight regulations, eight major rules proposed after June 1, 2007 carrying the “economically significant” stamp were enacted. And nine more were proposed.
Ellig sees this as a major problem because such last-minute regulations are often crafted with “lower-quality regulatory analysis, and agencies are less likely to use the analysis to make decisions about the regulation.” That means, he has concluded, “these regulations are more likely to be ineffective or excessively costly.”
GOP Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a member of the Energy and National Resources Committee, is particularly concerned about Obama’s increased use of the 1906 Antiquities Act to place certain lands off-limits to development.
So far, Obama has placed 548 million acres under federal protection, over twice as much as even Theodore Roosevelt, whose 230 million shielded acres earned him the “conservationist president” moniker.

It’s called treason you jerk off. It’s called he’s a dictator because you have allowed/facilitated it all for your 30 pieces of silver.
Judas’ all!
So then the left would send the jackboots in Elian Gonzalez style. And the media would dance and celebrate.
Why just the last 6 months?
Lock em ALL UP!
Congress is powerless because it chooses to be powerless. States have the power, if they choose to use it, to tell the unelected federal fascists to suck sewer water.
Hm, that's illegal:
Article. I.Nowhere is the power to further delegate legislative powers granted in the Constitution.
Section. 1.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
But can’t everything done by Executive Order be undone by the incoming POTUS? I don’t think they’re the same as laws enacted thru Congress. The POTUS is head of the Executive Branch and a new POTUS can undo what his predecessor put into effect, I am pretty sure.
Note this concerns a flood of 1500 rules and regulations that Gov’t Agencies already have the authority to implement without further Congressional approval.
Exec Order has nothing to do with this.
Good luck with a new president trying to “roll back” rules & regs as the left wing gov’t and media will Howl about “the negative impact the radical right wing will have on our poor, children / elderly, environment, consumer safety / fairness”, etc.
