Some of the Bullshit we deal with in Maine ...
Democrat controlled House was censuring a Republican Representative for exercising her free speech, the truth about transexual athletes in girls sports ...
The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the Democrat-led Maine legislature to revoke its censure of Republican state Rep. Laurel Libby for her post about a transgender athlete who won a high school girls’ pole vault competition.
The high court granted the Libby’s emergency application for relief 7-2, with liberal-leaning Justice Sonia Sotomayor saying she would deny the application and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting. The order clears the way for Libby to speak on the state House floor and vote on behalf of her constituents again while her lawsuit against Democrat Speaker of the Maine House Ryan Fecteau plays out in the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
“This is a victory not just for my constituents, but for the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court has affirmed what should never have been in question — that no state legislature has the power to silence an elected official simply for speaking truthfully about issues that matter,” Libby said in a statement.
“This decision restores the voice of 9,000 Mainers who were wrongly silenced. I am grateful for the Court’s action, and I am ready to get back to work representing the people of House District 90,” she added. . . .
