The state representative of Maine Gop, Laurel Libby, presented an emergency appeal before the First Circuit Appeals Court on Monday about a recent ruling that confirmed his censorship in the Legislature.
The state democratic majority voted to censor her for writing a publication on social networks that identified a Trans athlete who won a state pole jump 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 on Friday.
Dubose was appointed by former president Joe Biden Just before leaving office in January.
Libby previously told Pak Gazette Digital that he would appeal the ruling once it was announced, and now he has done so, and is 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 Pak Gazette 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.
“This appeal is much more than the headquarters of a legislator: it is about defending the constitutional rights of 9,000 main ones that currently have no voice or vote in the House of Representatives of Maine, “Libby said.
“I am grateful for the support of my constituents and many others in all Maine who understand the importance of telling the truth and standing firm. I will continue advancing until the voices of the people who were chosen would represent once again in August.”
Dubose presided over the case after each district judge in Maine refused to take it.
Judges John C. Nivison, John A. Woodcock, Lance E. Walker, Karen F. Wolf, Stacey D. Neumann and Nancy Torresen signed challenge orders shortly after the case was initially presented. No reason was given.
Then the case went to Dubose at Rhode Island.

Censorship has cost you the opportunity to vote on the State Biannual Budget and propose a bill to expand access to mental health resources for residents. It also prevents Libby from voting or talking on the floor of the Chamber on a bill that would add trans inclusion in girls’ sports to the State Constitution.
His colleagues will vote on the bill of the Democratic majority after it was approved with a simple majority in the camera on Thursday, but he needs a two -thirds majority in both cameras before he can go before voters. If approved, the state constitution would codify the Maine Human Rights Lawwhich protects the rights of transgender athletes to compete for sports teams of the opposite sex.
The United States Department of Justice presented A demand Against the State for their continuous challenge that Trump keeps men outside the women’s sports executive order. Maine has faced federal pressure in the last two months for his refusal to meet, including two federal investigations, a freezing of funds by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and now a lawsuit.
Democratic leadership in the state, led by Governor Janet Mills, has fought when presenting her own demand against Trump about the freezing of funds. Another federal judge already ruled that the USDA must defrost the funds.
