Obama sets new record for regulations, 527 pages in just one day

President Obama has just set a new record for rules and regulations, his administration spitting out 527 pages worth in just one day, as he races to put his fingerprint on virtually every corner of American life and business.

According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the administration has just shattered the old record for pages of regulations and rules published by the in-house journal, the Federal Register.

At 81,640 total pages for 2016, it ranks first and 235 pages more than all of those published in 2010, the previous record.

What's more, there are still about 26 working days left in the year.

"This is astonishing and should be of great concern, and intolerable, to policymakers. It is remarkable enough that the all-time record has been passed before Thanksgiving," he added.

Obama has promised to regulate by executive authority, but the sheer number of pages of regulations being rushed through is astonishing.

Still, it's not a big surprise to CEI and other regulation watchdogs.

The reason, said Crews, Obama owns seven of the 10 highest-ever Federal Register counts.

No. Rules and law are important.

Obama's EO's/directives are not rules or laws.

They are un-Constitutional legislating from the White House.

Plus there is always civil disobedience

The left does it all the time.

Butterflies are free, why not me?

regulate by CONSTITUTIONAL authority

That means ABOLISHING THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL REGULATORY STATE AND ALL REGULATIONS which are unconstitutional laws that have not been made through the legislative branch of Congress.
