I think its safe to say just about all federal regulations are illegal so if
you elimnate just about all federal regulations you would have at least 50

I say just about all federal regulations are illegal or that is they
violate the constitution because I'm going by percentages.
With the volumes of federal regulations its certain that at least
99.9% of them are illegal and probably out of that balance of 1 federal
regulation out of 1,000 a good number are illegal as well.--- In
