NEW: Supreme Court Sides with Maine GOP State Rep. in Censure Case Over Social Media Post on Transgender Athletes, Restores Her Voting Rights

The US Supreme Court granted an emergency application restoring a Republican Maine State Rep’s voting privileges in the House after they were taken away over a social media post criticizing a transgender (bio male) high school athlete who participated in a girls pole vault competition and won.

Recall that the Maine House Speaker censured Rep. Laurel Libby, stripped her voting rights and demanded she apologize for her social media post.

Rep. Libby refused to apologize and took the fight all the way up to the US Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday in a 7-2 decision granted Rep. Libby an emergency application and restored her voting rights pending disposition of the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

Liberal Justice Jackson dissented and Justice Sotomayor would have denied the application.

Fox News reported:

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Maine state legislature to revoke its censure of GOP state representative Laurel Libby on Tuesday.

Libby has been censured since Feb. 15 for a social media post that identified a transgender Maine high school athlete who won a girls’ pole vault competition. Democrat majority leader and Maine Speaker of the House Ryan Fecteau told Libby that the censure would be revoked if she apologized for the social media post, but Libby has firmly refused.

Instead, the state representative filed a lawsuit to have the censure overturned, but was ruled against by Rhode Island U.S. District Court Judge Melissa DuBose, who was appointed by former President Biden in January. DuBose presided over the case after every district judge in Maine refused to take the case.

Libby then filed an appeal to First Circuit Court of Appeals, but was ruled against there too. So she took her case to the Supreme Court in April.
