The Supreme Court on Tuesday found that the Maine Legislature must count the votes of a Rep. Laurel Libby, the Republican who was censured after she identified a transgender teen athlete in a social media post that went viral.
Although the court majority sided with Libby, who filed an emergency appeal to restore her ability to vote, there were two noted dissents: Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Jackson wrote in her dissent that the case “raises many difficult questions” and Libby may ultimately win. Read the full dissent below.
