The long-awaited text of the omnibus spending bill was released Wednesday night and, to the great relief of religious liberty advocates including the Baptist Joint Committee, it does not include language weakening the so-called “Johnson Amendment.”
BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler and Rabbi David Saperstein explain why they are thankful that President Trump has so far been unsuccessful in his promise to repeal the Johnson Amendment.
The BJC’s Amanda Tyler says a troubling provision in the current tax bill, undermining the Johnson Amendment, just got worse, after an amendment that passed the Ways and Means Committee today.
