NASHVILLE In November, the Tennessee Republican Party won a historic victory: its first majority in the state House of Representatives since 1869.But on Monday morning, just as the legislative session was about to begin, the party voluntarily gave it up.In the latest flourish of a twisty melodrama that has consumed the General Assembly for weeks, the party chairwoman stripped the speaker of the House, Kent Williams, of his Republican Party membership, citing dishonor, deception and betrayal.
