Can the state legislature's Democrat majority in Maine simply remove the representation rights of thousands of residents by voting to banish their representative from voting and speaking?
Further, can they punish that lawmaker personally over her opinions and thoughts?
The Supreme Court will be asked to decide.
It is Maine Rep. Laurel Libby who was suspended from participating in the legislature, to which she was elected, because, Democrats say, she posted the name and image of a juvenile online.
However, Democrats earlier refused to punish one of their own party for doing essentially the same thing, so that argument holds little water.
So the fight is reduced to the fact that Libby objects to the transgender ideology of having boys say they are girls, and then compete in girls' sports events, and that belief is what the Democrats won't tolerate.
A report at Fox revealed Libby has confirmed she'll appeal her case to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking for emergency intervention after Democrats censured her.
A federal appeals court earlier sided with the censorship of her opinions and thoughts.
"For over 100 days, my constituents have had no say in any actions taken by their government, actions that directly impact their lives," Libby said. "Every vote taken on the floor of the legislature is a vote my constituents cannot get back. The good people of our district have been silenced and disenfranchised.
"We are hopeful the court will act swiftly to halt the Democrats' ongoing violation of the Constitution and suppression of dissenting voices, even as the broader case continues through the appeals process."
House Speaker Ryan Fecteau orchestrated the censorship of Libby, and Judge Melissa DeBose, and the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals declined to move the case forward.
"Our appeal asks the court to correct this abuse of power and reaffirm that legislative leadership cannot use procedural maneuvers and sweeping assertions of immunity to sideline dissenting voices and disenfranchise entire communities," Libby told Fox News Digital.
"I remain optimistic that the court will recognize what is plainly at stake: the integrity of representative government and the foundational principle that no elected official, no legislative leader, and no partisan majority is above the Constitution. The people of House District 90 deserve full representation, and we intend to see that right restored."
WND reported only days ago that, in the case, Democrats claimed they can decide which lawmakers can vote in the legislature.
