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 responds to news that the final tax bill removes troubling language from the House version that would have politicized houses of worship.
