Dr. Jan Hahn Knoxville News Sentinel May 7, 2026, 5:05 a.m. ET To my Republican friends,Beware of praying too hard; you might get your wish.Gov. Bill Lee has called a special session in order to give the legislature an opportunity to reconfigure congressional districts.

The character of a politician can be revealed by noting what he votes for as well as what he votes against. But there is also another very useful way to assess his character, and that is to note those actions of his party he applauds and those he condemns. The Trump administration has inflicted upon Americans numerous policies that harm not only the present generation but will also harm those many years in the future. And what has been Burchett's response to these attacks on East Tennesseans?
