Yet ANOTHER problem with the Administrative State: "The scope of federal regulations is so vast that no one even knows how
many exist. Estimates of criminally enforceable regulations range from
10,000 to more than 300,000.44 That’s as much as sixty-seven times the number of statutory federal crimes.45 Add to this number civilly enforceable
regulations and the total number of federal regulations exceeds one million."

Code of Federal Regulations today finds itself crowded with so many ‘crimes’ that
scholars actually debate their number.”).
