"Judge's Ruling Restores Signs to Tennessee Statehouse Grounds, Overturning House GOP Rule"

A judge in Tennessee ruled that signs can be brought back into the statehouse hearings, overturning a new House GOP rule that banned signs. The ruling came after three people were removed from a hearing for holding signs urging gun control, prompting a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The chaotic scene during a committee debate on allowing more guns into schools led to a split vote to keep debating, but the bill ultimately failed. Republicans, who have a supermajority in the House, signed off on strict rules during a special session in response to a deadly school shooting, but are not expected to take up gun control. A hearing on the temporary injunction has been scheduled for September 5.
