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.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
Why am I not surprised.

Should Kenaji recuse herself from all cases involving the sex of anyone involved in the case? She isn’t a biologist!!!

Using the word justice in conjunction with those two names is appalling.
To: Fungi
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
