Voting analysis

Law is the classification on more of Henry Johnson's bills than the next four subjects combined — the most concentrated legal portfolio on this site. He is ranking member of the judiciary subcommittee covering courts, intellectual property, artificial intelligence and the internet.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Henry Johnson's cluster into: Law (26), Transportation and Public Works (7), Civil Rights and Liberties, Minority Issues (6), Commerce (4), Crime and Law Enforcement (3), Armed Forces and National Security (2).

The filings

One bill would restrict the use of a defendant's creative expression — song lyrics, most often rap — as evidence against them at trial. Another would curb transfers of surplus military equipment to police departments. A third addresses the right to sue federal officers for constitutional violations. Together they are a single argument about how the criminal system treats the people inside it.

Where he broke ranks

He declined a children's online safety bill, a military construction and veterans spending measure, a resolution on Iran, and the year's consolidated appropriations. He crossed outward on a war powers resolution, a resolution backing law enforcement officers, and a fuel retailing bill that failed. Two farm bill amendments round it out.

The law enforcement resolution sits oddly beside a bill demilitarising the police. Both are his, and the roll call does not reconcile them.
