Washington – A member of the House of Representatives of Maine is asking the Supreme Court for emergency relief when he was censored to criticize the state in public high schools to allow the Hijra athletes to participate in sports.
A Republican Laurel, who represents the House District 90 of the Republic, asked the Libi High Court to issue an order so that the chamber’s clerk must calculate its vote. He argued that his electoral fields were being deprived as a result of the punishment imposed on him after he was censored by the State House by a party-line vote last month.
“The residents of Maine House District 90 without emergency relief from this court are without equal representation for the rest of their elected MLAs,” lawyers on behalf of Liby wrote their urgent appeal in the Supreme Court.
They said that the sanctions imposed by the house speaker of Maine were “his election” without any voice or vote for every bill on the floor of the house on its selected term, which runs by 2026. ” Libi was first elected to the State Legislative Assembly in 2020.
The dispute shared a post libby on Facebook in February that caught the attention of a Hijra athlete who won first place in the pole vault of girls in the track-and-field championship in the state. In Maine, Ezra students are eligible to participate in athletics by their gender identity. Judiciary Filed a civil case In the beginning of this month, his principles against the education department of Maine, which say it is discriminating against women by violating the IX title. The case has come after President Trump Signed in an executive order In February, Ezra refuses to compete in girls and sports teams that adjust their gender identity.
In response to the Liby post, which included the name of the photo and athlete, a minor, the Maine House voted 75 to 70 to censor him. The censor resolution states that Libi refused to remove his post after his alert and it could endanger the athlete and said “It is a primary theory of politics and good moral character that should not be targeted by adult politicians, especially when this target can cause serious harm.”
The proposal was “to take full responsibility for the incident and to publicly apologize to the public and to the people of the state of Maine.” Libby, it concluded, “must have to highlight yourself in a way that follows the highest value of legal behavior.”
After the approval of the censor resolution, Liby was brought to the House Chamber well and was ordered to apologize. When he refused to do so, the speaker found him in violation of a Maine House Rules that forbids the guilty member until the members of the legislature violate the rules and voting or speaking.
Roll call votes from that refers to a “Z” for Libir district. His lawyers have said that his seat was not voted for Libi by sponsoring himself in the state budget or in the bill.
Libi and his six constituencies filed a case in the Federal Court to restore his vote on allegations of violating the constitution with the first amendment. A Federal District Court refused to provide initial relief to him, proved that the law meeting had canceled it because his approval by the house speaker of Maine was a law meeting and the deprivation of his district could not overcome this immunity.
The United States Appellate Court for the first circuit also rejected the request to calculate the clerk Lobby.
At his request for the intervention of the Supreme Court, Liby’s lawyers said the relief they were looking for “would restore the stability of equal representation, to make the Maine House in line with every other state and Congress.”
They have asked the High Court to weight by May E, when the house calls for another floor session, or hearing the oral argument at his request next month.
“Without the intervention of this court, there is no equal representation in the home of District 90 residents – indefinitely,” they said. “And there is no political solution for the accused’s unconstitutional acts.”
Liby’s lawyers said that “against our first initial amendment, against independence, he is a representative of 90 without any constitutional measures to restore his vote without rewriting his views on the speaker’s choice.” “
