Rep. Justin Jones alleges constitutional violations in lawsuit against Tennessee House Speaker over expulsion, speech restrictions

Rep. Justin Jones filed federal lawsuit against Speaker Cameron Sexton over his expulsion from the House earlier this year.
Jones argues his rights to free speech and due process were violated by his expulsion and rules limiting his ability to speak.
Lawsuit alleges Jones faced racial discrimination compared to treatment of white lawmakers.
Seeks to overturn expulsion, restore benefits and seniority, and block rules allowing Speaker to restrict speech.
Comes after special session where public access was limited and Jones was temporarily silenced.
