This is not a repeal of the Johnson Amendment — this is the IRS choosing to ignore it when churches violate it.
FFRF remains committed to holding tax-exempt organizations accountable and is exploring all legal avenues to respond to this abdication of responsibility.

The IRS just told a court that churches can endorse political candidates without risking their tax-exempt statuses.
The Johnson Amendment is now effectively DEAD.
