Tennessee House to vote on expulsion of Democrats over gun control protest.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives in Tennessee is set to vote on whether to expel three Democratic members for their participation in a gun control protest at the statehouse last week. The three lawmakers led protesters in chanting demands for stricter gun laws after a school shooting in Nashville left six dead. The Democrats argue that their participation in the protest was within their First Amendment rights. The expulsion vote is likely to be approved by the required two-thirds of House members in the Republican-dominated chamber and lead to the ouster of Representatives Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones, and Justin Pearson.
