A February 17 Facebook post has become a catalyst for political history in Maine. And that could soon be the subject of the Supreme Court’s testimony.

That day, state representative Laurel Libby used the social media site to identify an athlete who had just shaken a high school detention. The athlete took first place in Girles Pole Vault Maine State Class B championship and propelled Greely High School to a girls’ state title.

It was already big local news when the Portland Press Herald released a summary the same day that Libby made the post, which also identified the athlete by name.

But Libby’s post pointed out that the athlete ended in fifth place in a boy competition, just two years earlier.

“I had talked to a mother, my friend who has had a child in the track in Maine for a long, long time,” Libby told Pakinomist Digital.

“She told me that there was a biological man who would probably win the girls’ state polish championship, and certainly enough, he did … I looked at the picture of the girls in second, and that was there that should have been in the first place.”

The position was Viral and Skyning Maine, Greely High School and the athlete into the bull’s eye for the national trans athlete debate.

Libby said that no one from the school or the athlete’s family ever reached out to her about the position.

“I’ve never heard from them or the school,” Libby said. Pakinomist Digital has reached Greely High School for comment.

The first person Libby says she heard from what took the question with her post was the Maine House speaker Ryan Fecteau, which she is now suing to censor her over the position.

“He found it critical and asked me to take it down, at the same time I asked him if he would support Maine girls, and support politics that stopped discrimination by Maine Young Women in Sport and he refused to answer,” Libby said.

“The biggest criticism of the Democrats is that it was a picture of a minor.”

Libby said families of other students at Greely High School have reached her as the question has emerged.

“[They] Have encouraged me because they do not agree with biological men who participate in girls’ sports, and given their relationship with the school, they cannot say it in public, “said Libby.” We have seen this become a big speech point in the Greely, the Cumberland area. “

ONE Examination of The US parents’ coalition found that about 63% of Maine voters said school sports participation should be based on biological sex, and 66% agreed that it is “only fair to limit women’s sports to biological women.”

Greely’s District, MSAD #51, has previously made a statement in support of its eligibility policy.

“The MSAD #51 board is governed by mission, vision and core values ​​in our district. This includes the promotion of a safe, caring and ethical learning environment where each person will be treated with respect and justice; and individuals are recognized, valued and supported,” the district said in a statement.

Libby’s post came during a holiday week. When students returned the following week, they were greeted by police protection in response to National Scrutiny Libby’s positions pulled to school.

“I think law enforcement exercised an abundance of caution, and fortunately there was no risk to the students,” Libby said.

Now, two and a half months later, the state is in a conflict with the federal government about the issue of Trans athletes in girls’ sports, while Libby is making a case for Supreme Court Intervention in his lawsuit against Fecteau.

Fecteau and Maine’s democratic majority censored Libby for the position on February 25 and initially offered to restore her voting rights and speak rights if she apologized for the position. But Libby immediately told them she would not apologize.

“The real reason I was censored is in political retaliation to point out a policy that most mainers do not agree with,” Libby said.

Instead, she filed her lawsuit against Fecteau on March 11.

But Rhode Island Us District Court -Fremmer Melissa Dubose gave Against Libby In her case on April 22. Dubose, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden in January, ended up chairman of the case after each district judge in Maine refused to take it.

Judges John C. Nivison, John A. Woodcock, Lance E. Walker, Karen F. Wolf, Stacey D. Neumann and Nancy Torresen signed repayment orders shortly after the case was originally filed. No reason was given.

Dubose ended up with the case and gave benefit to Fecteau. Then the first appeal court also gave up against Libby.

This last Monday, Libby announced that she would appeal to the Supreme Court of emergency.

“We haven’t quite had our day in court yet, I look forward to continuing this process,” Libby said when asked if she thinks she has had a fair trial.

Libby says she expects to hear if the Supreme Court will hear the case before Monday, May 5.

So far, the state representative has visibly had the federal government on his part, especially President Donald Trump’s administration.

The US Department of Justice announced a lawsuit against the state of Maine for its continued tross courage Trumps Executive order to keep biological men out of girls and women’s sports and violations of section IX. Libby participated in the press conference together with Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon.

The Department of Agriculture cut federal funding to the state, which then sued the administration. A federal judge has already decided that funding must be frozen.

Internally, many mainers have already taken steps to adapt to Libby and Trump’s side on the question. There have been two large -scale protests in the state’s capital Augusta, and a school district in the state, MSAD #70, is already moving to introduce its own policy to ban trans athletes from girls’ sports.

Now comes Libby’s Scotus appeal as the tension between the state and Trump is intensified. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt referred to “prosecution” as a consequence for violation of federal law while discussing the administration’s intentions on the issue.

“When Maine decided not to follow [Trump’s executive order]The Ministry of Justice sued them. So anyone who obeys federal law will be prosecuted, sued or say ‘goodbye’ to your federal funding, “Leavitt told journalists at a press conference on Monday.

Libby did not exclude prosecution as a legitimate response if her state continues to defy Trump in the question.

“We have seen so much occur in the last two months that we certainly cannot exclude anything,” said Libby when asked about potential prosecution to officials in her state.

“I hope it wouldn’t come to it. I hope we can all agree that our young women should not be discriminated against.”
