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.
In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled that Libby's entitlement to relief from the censure is "indisputably clear."
The GOP lawmaker celebrated the Supreme Court decision in an X post.
"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 wrote.

Two DEI hires....
Using the word justice in conjunction with those two names is appalling.
So sad that the other justices will have a DEI taint to the court now. after Scalia the IQ of the court has really suffered.
on what possible constitutional grounds ????
this Supreme Court (as with most recent Supremos) is out of control and desperately needs correction
it breed the (now unfortunately very widespread) contempt for law and our judiciary
this has terrible consequences in society
Competitors at a girls' pole vault competition shouldn't bring their own pole.
Those two disgusting anti-American, anti-common sense, pro-crime b!tches did it again.
Unwise latina and the definitionally uncertain
The Maine governor skank has to tell the SCOTUS, “See ya in court.” What a skank.
You mean “Wide Latina”, right?
Exactly what they are. Sotomayor couldn’t pass the bar exam without ‘accommodation..’
or forced to compete with the pole they brought.
I heard he had a little snagging problem going over the top. Didn’t get to Target’s “Tuckees” sale on time.
