The Supreme Court on Tuesday afternoon required the clerk of the Maine House of Representatives to count votes by a Maine lawmaker who was censured for a social media post about a transgender athlete at a high school track meet in that state. In a brief unsigned order, the justices granted a request filed by Laurel Libby, a Republican who represents a district in the southern part of the state, to clear the way for her to vote while her appeal continues in the lower courts and, if necessary, the Supreme Court.
The events giving rise to the dispute before the court began in February, when Libby published a Facebook post on her official legislative account that included photos and the name of a transgender girl who had competed in, and won, the pole vault at the state track-and-field championship.
The speaker of the House of Representatives, Ryan Fecteau, asked Libby to take the post down, expressing concern that allowing the post to remain online could create health and safety issues. When Libby declined to do so, the House introduced a resolution to censure Libby, contending that her post violated the state’s ethics code for legislators. The resolution added that as a result of the post, the school district had had to “increase security at the school causing unnecessary stress and disruption to other students, parents, teachers and school support staff and the entire community.”
