For those not aware the Johnson Amendment states that in order to receive a tax exempt status churches cannot preach on politics - an absurd law attempting to restrict freedom of speech. Figured it was a democrat who blocked it. Well Trump tried but no doubt not the last of it..
"Following a ruling by the Senate Parliamentarian—a Democratic appointee held over since Harry Reid was majority leader—the provision of the tax reform bill that repeals the so-called “Johnson Amendment” was struck from the final version of the conference committee report."
"The Johnson Amendment places restrictions on what kinds of political activities churches and pastors may engage in... Christians have sought to have it removed for decades, and President Donald Trump had vowed to see it fully repealed."
