Maine Legislator Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Restore Her Ability to Cast Votes in the Legislature

Posted on by May 1, 2025

A Maine state representative, Laurel D. Libby, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to restore her ability to cast votes in the legislature. She lost the ability to vote in late February 2025, because she refuses to apologize for her statements about the issue of whether it is fair to let transgender women compete in high school sports. Libby then sued the Speaker of the Maine House so that she can again vote, but she lost in U.S. District Court and in the First Circuit.

Her U.S. Supreme Court filing is here, and was filed on April 28. Today the Court asked for a response. The case is Libby v Fecteau, 24A1051.

  5. The military parade is for Flag Day. It’s only a coincidence that it’s also Trump’s birthday, unless it’s a conspiracy involving God that Trump happened to be born that day.

  6. WHITEHOUSE for GOV forward slash WIRE IS REAL NEWS. ADD IT TO YOUR NEWS FEEDS AND TAKE OUT THE FAKE NEWS….

  8. Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.

    If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.

  9. I am proud to have finally voted for Trump. He’s a good man.

  10. I’ve been voting for Trump since 1988! I wrote Him in before He was on the ballot!

  12. I’m most looking forward to scumbag Trump hating and defying judges trading their black robes for orange jumpsuits as they go to prison!

  15. Praise God for Trump! Praise Trump for God! Praise Trump for being God! Praise God for being Trump!

  16. @ Real facts

    Of course it was a conspiracy involving God! Trump is God, so He chose the day he was born!

  18. All of Google needs to be banned! Praise Trump! God Emperor Trump will rule the world from a solid gold throne in Mar A Lago! Praise Him! Everyone on your knees to Trump! Amen!

  19. Donald Trump is the name of the fat Gestapo fuehrer
    Who’s always in a furor
    About making America whiter
    And the white race purer

  20. Donald Trump is doing more to destroy capitalism and bring about communist revolution than anyone in human history. Communist comrades should support Trump to bring about the crisis of capitalism and hasten the world wide workers revolution!

  21. I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.

  22. Trump is doing everything backwards just to spite Joe Biden. For instance, Trump likes to pull down his pants first and then take a dump, completely the opposite of Joe Biden.

  25. Is that why it smells so nasty at burn loot murder and antifa events, anti tesla protests etc?

  26. Yes. It’s a tradition that started in the red Chinese factories because the workers in that workers paradise are not allowed toilet breaks. Beijing Biden-Quisling and other Chinese communist stooges brought it to the USA.

  28. Thanks for the added context. I did not realize the ideological significance.

  33. Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.

  35. If you think bad about me, stop trusting fake media. Go to conservapedia.com and read conservapedia.

  36. But even if you’re not smart enough to, or have no eyes to see, you’re still smarter than to take seriously the spambot “AZ”

  42. The problem of furries is very real and the law is very much needed.

  46. AZ appears to be suffering from moderate to severe anal cranial inversion.

  47. Adam Smith’s key insight was that both parties to an exchange can benefit and that, so long as cooperation is strictly voluntary, no exchange can take place unless both parties do benefit.
    – Leonard E. Read, The Freeman [March 1977]
    Of course, the benefits of what two persons do for their mutual benefit one day can become a mutual detriment by the intervention of the State the next day.
    Consider voting, what benefit a voter sees in electing a person to hold office for a limited term can be undone after the election by incumbents passing laws to nullify the voter ability to choose as the voter sees as most beneficial in all future elections. Individuals chosen to hold office become indentured servants of that small minority with the power to nullify the elected from serving the interests of those who elected them.
    This is the fundamental intent of all ballot access laws – censorship of alternatives to the incumbents and the incumbent parties.

  49. @DFR
    But being ruled by government is not voluntary in the first place. I guess you can say that voting implies consent, but what about all the people who don’t vote?

    Anyway, you shouldn’t hand over the keys to the voting process to the people you voted in. They shouldn’t be able to make ballot access laws in the first place. Perhaps the government shouldn’t be printing ballots at all.

  50. If there are no ballots there can be no controversy over who prints them or what’s on them.
