Unlocking the Potential of the Congressional Review Act
No full textThe Congressional Review Act (CRA) permits Congress to overturn rules issued by federal agencies with a simple majority in each chamber. Traditionally, the CRA has been used as a negative tool, to cancel regulations adopted during the prior administration, including the 14 Obama-era rules Congress overturned during the first four months of the Trump administration. This Issue Brief by Professors Jody Freeman and Matthew Stephenson of Harvard Law School argues that the CRA's fast-track procedures have "substantially greater unrealized potential" and could be used as an affirmative tool to advance policy priorities without being subject to filibuster. In light of unprecedented congressional obstructionism, Freeman and Stephenson argue that exploring this nontraditional use of the CRA is "essential to the health of our democracy" and to returning Congress to its job of legislating

Wisdom and apocalyptic in the Gospel of Matthew : a comparative study with 1 Enoch and 4QInstruction
No full textRecent scholarship has demonstrated that Matthew's gospel has significantly developed
both sapiential and apocalyptic elements within its narrative. Little attention has been paid,
however, to the question of how these two features of Matthew's gospel might relate to one
another. It is this gap in scholarly literature that the present study is intended to fill, by means of a
comparative study with two other texts of mixed genre: 1 Enoch and 4Qlnstruction.
An examination of these texts demonstrates that each is marked by an inaugurated
eschatology, within which the revealing of wisdom to an elect group, defined in distinction to the
Jewish parent group, serves as the pivotal moment of inauguration. In addition, within
4Qlnstruction the idea is developed that possession of this revealed wisdom allows the remnant
to live in fidelity to the will of the Creator and to the patterns built-in to the original creation.
Thus, possession of revealed wisdom facilitates a recovery of creation.
These findings provide lines of enquiry that may be brought to Matthew. Three sections
of the gospel are examined (chapters 5-7; 11-12; 24-25). It is argued that Jesus is presented as an
eschatological figure who reveals wisdom to an elect group. This wisdom cannot be reduced to
great moral insight or interpretation of Torah, but is presented as prophetic revelation, happening
in eschatological time. It remains the case, however, that Matthew presents it as wisdom and
presents Jesus as a sage.
More tentatively, it is suggested that creation provides the patterns for the ethical
requirements of Jesus' wisdom, thus indicating that the idea of restored creation is also at work in
Matthew. The fall of the temple may also be connected in Matthew's narrative to such a
restoration, but again, the evidence for this is not clear
Light signalling pathways regulating the Mg-chelatase branchpoint of chlorophyll synthesis during de-etiolation in arabidopsis thaliana
No full textPrecise regulation of tetrapyrrole synthesis is critical for plant survival when seedlings first emerge into the light. At this time there is a massive increase in demand for chlorophyll to drive the assembly of the photosynthetic apparatus. To understand how this demand is met we have followed the expression of genes encoding the chelatase enzymes at the branchpoint between chlorophyll and heme synthesis. Dark-grown Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings were transferred to continuous white, red, far-red or blue light and the expression of eight tetrapyrrole pathway genes was followed using real-time RT-PCR. Our results show that the CHLH gene encoding the H subunit of Mg-chelatase was induced by light under all conditions with an initial peak after 2-4 h light. The other Mg-chelatase subunit genes CHLI and CHLD and the ferrochelatase genes FC1 and FC2 were not strongly regulated at the level of transcript abundance, but the Mg-chelatase regulator GUN4 had an expression profile almost identical to that observed for CHLH. The CHLM gene encoding Mg-protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase, the next enzyme in the pathway, was also light regulated, but showed a very different pattern of expression. Using photoreceptor mutants it was demonstrated that regulation of CHLH and GUN4 is primarily under the control of phytochromes A and B with some input from the cryptochromes. Induction of CHLH and GUN4 under red and far-red light was also compromised in the phytochrome-signalling mutants, fhy1 and fhy3. These results establish GUN4 as a major target of photoreceptor regulation during the earliest stages of de-etiolation
PIF3 is a repressor of chloroplast development
No full textThe phytochrome-interacting factor PIF3 has been proposed to act as a positive regulator of chloroplast development. Here, we show that the pif3 mutant has a phenotype that is similar to the pif1 mutant, lacking the repressor of chloroplast development PIF1, and that a pif1pif3 double mutant has an additive phenotype in all respects. The pif mutants showed elevated protochlorophyllide levels in the dark, and etioplasts of pif mutants contained smaller prolamellar bodies and more prothylakoid membranes than corresponding wild-type seedlings, similar to previous reports of constitutive photomorphogenic mutants. Consistent with this observation, pif1, pif3, and pif1pif3 showed reduced hypocotyl elongation and increased cotyledon opening in the dark. Transfer of 4-d-old dark-grown seedlings to white light resulted in more chlorophyll synthesis in pif mutants over the first 2 h, and analysis of gene expression in dark-grown pif mutants indicated that key tetrapyrrole regulatory genes such as HEMA1 encoding the rate-limiting step in tetrapyrrole synthesis were already elevated 2 d after germination. Circadian regulation of HEMA1 in the dark also showed reduced amplitude and a shorter, variable period in the pif mutants, whereas expression of the core clock components TOC1, CCA1, and LHY was largely unaffected. Expression of both PIF1 and PIF3 was circadian regulated in dark-grown seedlings. PIF1 and PIF3 are proposed to be negative regulators that function to integrate light and circadian control in the regulation of chloroplast developmen
