This isn''t new

As stated, this happens every time. And the new administration is the "check & balance" to putting through lousy rules. If the media didn't cover it, why are there numerous articles on it today?

bush last minute rules

To allow Bush or any president to lock in federal regulations that con not be changed is one more reason the executive branch should have less, not more power.

To bypass congress and the courts with hundreds of "laws" almost impossible to reverse is criminal.

What's just as criminal is the lack of outrage and coverage by media and rousing of public awareness by a Democratic congress. This should tell us all something about our "2 party system".
