The Tennessee Republican-led House voted to expel 2 Democratic lawmakers Justin Jones and Justin Pearson over their participation in a gun reform protest on the chamber floor. However, a motion to expel a third Democratic lawmaker, Gloria Johnson, failed to achieve the required two-thirds majority vote. The move has been widely criticized by Democrats and civil liberties groups, who argue that the expulsions violate the lawmakers' First Amendment rights.
