Maine’s state representative asks the Supreme Court to intervene in the middle of the battle on the trans post athlete

Maine’s state representative, Laurel Libby, said Monday that he will appeal to the Supreme Emergency Intervention Court after legislators censored it in a social media post on a transgender athlete.

The Republican legislator will ask the Supreme Court to correct a decision of the Federal Court of Appeals, which he ruled against Libby in his search for a preliminary judicial order to avoid the sanction.

“For more than 60 days, my constituents have had no voice in any action taken by their government, the actions that directly affect their lives,” Libby said in a statement on Monday. “Each vote taken on the floor of the Legislature is a vote that my voters cannot recover, the good people of our district have been silenced and deprived of their rights.

“We hope that the Court will act quickly to stop the continuous violation of the Democrats of the Constitution and the suppression of the dissident voices, even when the widest case continues through the appeal process.”

The democratic majority of the State voted to censor it for writing a publication of social networks that identified a Trans athlete who won a state pole jumping competition in February. Libby filed a lawsuit against the president of the House of Representatives, Ryan Fecteau, to revoke it, but the judge of the Rhode Island District Court in the United States, Melissa Dubose, failed against Libby earlier this month.

The First Court of Appeals of the Circuit also failed against Libby.

Libby previously said to News Digital that he was willing to take his case to the Supreme Court.

“Our appeal asks the Court to correct this abuse of being able to and reaffirm that the legislative leadership cannot use procedural maneuvers and radical affirmations of immunity to put aside the dissident voices and deprive the entire communities,” Libby told News Digital in a statement.

“I remain optimistic that the Court will recognize what is clearly at stake: the integrity of the representative government and the fundamental principle that no elected official, no legislative leader, and no partisan majority is above the Constitution. The people of the 90th district of the House of Representatives deserves full representation, and we intend to see that correct restored.”

Libby represents 9,000 components in the 90s district of Maine and has not been able to speak or vote in its name in the state legislature for two months.

Dubose said in his ruling that the sanction “does not have such an extraordinary character that he deletes the formidable shield that the courts have provided to legislative acts.”
