Midnight Bush shenanigans may be cut off at pass

The Congressional Review Act of 1996 means any executive regulation finalized within 60 days of Congressional adjournment, in this case, Oct. 3, are considered, for Congressional purposes, as finalized Jan. 15, 2009. So, the new Congress would have two months from then to review late-night Bush rule-making decisions.

Because CRA actions can’t be filibustered, they draw scrutiny; I would a gree that a vote u p or down on a whole package of egregious Bush rule-makings is the best Obama strategy.
