When I first saw this headline, I thought they were talking about cryonics.
As Glenn notes, it’s not obvious that these new regulations would have prevented this (which is often the case).

Lois Lerner
The Attorney General says that she was protected by prosecutorial discretion.
Just as predicted. This corrupt administration protects its own.
Space Property Rights
A story on the current state of play, at the WaPo.
The Learning Period For Regulating Spaceflight Participant Safety
It will be extended until 2023.
If we haven’t started flying by then, we might as well give up.
The Clinton Email Probe
Well, well, well. The FBI has stepped up the interviews.
But wait! I thought the president said here was nothing there. Why won’t the FBI listen to him?
ObamaCare Continues Its Collapse
“’I’m an advocate for the health care law,’ said Ms. Jackson, who lives in Harlem. ‘And if I can’t navigate this, who can?’”
“It’s as if the whole ObamaCare thing was just a politicized Potemkin village.”
Yup.
ObamaCare
…is dead:
The fact is that Obamacare has fallen apart without Republicans’ dismantling it. Almost all of its basic promises have failed, it is an economic shambles, and it is a political mess: Unsurprisingly, people still don’t like it. Less than a third of Americans support the individual mandate, three-fourths oppose Obamacare’s tax on high-end health-care programs, and more voters oppose the law categorically than support it. A quarter of voters say the law has hurt them personally. The question isn’t why Republicans haven’t gotten around to repealing and replacing it — the answer to that question resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for a while, still — the question is when Democrats will get around to admitting that, purity of their hearts notwithstanding, they and they alone — not one Republican voted for Obamacare — have created a mess that has introduced nothing to American health care except chaos.
"Dead" is such a harsh word, @KevinNR. We prefer the phrase "metabolically challenged." https://t.co/UsB0Zmpvmd

Obama’s Court Quagmire
His (unlawful, unconstitutional) environmental agenda is at risk.
Good.
When Science Goes To Court
A new paper on adjudicating disputes in climate science. It’s a travesty that it’s had to come to this, but it’s what happens when science becomes politicized. And in fact, I’d like to see a class-action suit against Michelle’s school-lunch program as child abuse on a massive scale.
Legal Myths About ObamaCare
…and why it isn’t “here to stay.”
Yes, the notion that it’s going to continue to survive the myriad court challenges ahead is wishful thinking on the part of the statists.
