THE FALLOUT FROM TENNESSEE S MINI-JAN. 6. The Tennessee House of Representatives spent Thursday debating the expulsion of three members, all Democrats, who hijacked the House floor for nearly an hour on March 30, using a bullhorn to shout at and harangue their fellow legislators in tandem with noisy anti-gun protesters who filled the galleries. House Republicans, who hold a huge 75-24 majority in the chamber, filed a resolution to expel state Reps. Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones, and Justin Pearson for "knowingly and intentionally bring[ing] disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives through their individual and collective actions." Thursday, they debated and voted.
