NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s GOP-dominated House on Thursday expelled the first of three Democratic members who were at risk of being thrown out of the Legislature for their role in a demonstration calling for gun control after the Nashville school shooting. The 72-25 vote to oust Rep. Justin Jones was an extraordinary move the chamber has used only a handful times since the Civil War.
The House was also considering ousting Reps. Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson a week after the trio chanted back and forth from the chamber floor with gun-control supporters who packed the gallery. The protest happened days after six people, including three children, were fatally shot at The Covenant School in Nashville.

Resolutions were filed Monday against Reps. Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. They led chants from the House floor with supporters in the gallery last Thursday. The resolution declared the three had participated in “disorderly behavior” and “did knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives.” Expelling lawmakers is an extraordinary action inside the Tennessee Capitol. Just two other House members have ever been ousted from the chamber since the Civil War.
