A Facebook message of February 17 has become a catalyst for political history in Maine. And this could soon be the subject of the testimony of the Supreme Court.
That day, the representative of the State Laurel Libby used the social media site to identify an athlete who had just shaken a meeting on the track of the high school. The athlete took first place in the class B class B championship of pole vintage for girls, propelling Greely High School to a state of girls.
It was already major local news, because the Portland Press Herald published a summary on the same day that Libby made the post, which also identified the athlete by name.
But the Libby post pointed out that the athlete had finished fifth in a competition for boys, two years earlier.

“I spoke with a mother, my friend, who had a child on track in Maine for a very, a very long time,” said Libby at PK Press Club Digital.
“She told me that there was a biological man who was probably going to win the girls’ jump championship, and of course, he did it … I looked at the image of the girls of second place, and that should have been in the first place.”
The position has become viral and pushed Maine, Greely High School and the athlete in the Taurus eye of the National Debate of Trans athletes.
Libby said that no one in the school or family of the athlete had never stretched her hand about the post.
“I have never heard of them or school,” said Libby. PK Press Club Digital contacted Greely High School to comment.
The first person Libby says that she heard of that of her post was the president of Maine House, Ryan Fecteau, whom she is now pursuing to have supposed her by the position.
“He found him reprehensible and asked me to withdraw him, at the same time, I asked him if he supports the girls of Maine, and to support a policy that has stopped discrimination against the young women of Maine in sport and he refused to respond,” said Libby.

“The main criticism of the Democrats is that it was an image of a minor.”
The Fecteau office provided documents to PK Press Club Digital confirming that the conversation took place.
“I ask you to withdraw the position,” Fecteau wrote in a letter to Libby on February 18. “In addition to risking young people’s safety, your post has been one of the political traditions for a long time to leave children outside ” – a tradition that has even been observed by political experts with regard to the treatment of children who are in the White House, the most functions processed by the nation.”
Libby said that the families of other Greely High School students contacted it as the problem had progressed.
“”[They] encouraged me because they do not agree with the biological men who participate in the sports of girls, and given their relationship with the school, they cannot say that publicly, “said Libby.” We have seen this becoming a great subject of discussion in the Greely region, Cumberland. “”
A survey on The American Parents Coalition noted that around 63% of Maine voters said that school sports participation should be based on organic sex, and 66% have agreed that it was “fair to restrict the sports of women to organic women”.
The Greely district, MSAD # 51, previously provided a statement to support its eligibility policies.
“The board of directors of MSAD # 51 is guided by the mission, vision and the fundamental values of our district.
The Libby post came for a week off. When the students returned the following week, they were greeted by the protection of the police in response to the national examination of Libby posts establishing themselves in school.
“I think the police have exorcised an abundance of caution, and fortunately, there was no risk for students,” said Libby.

Now, two and a half months later, the state is in conflict with the federal government on the issue of trans athletes in sports for girls, while Libby argues a case for intervention by the Supreme Court in his trial against Fecteau.
The Democrat majority of Fecteau and Maine censored Libby for the post on February 25, and initially proposed to restore her voting and speech rights if she apologized for the post. But Libby immediately told them that she would not apologize.
“The real reason for which I was censored is in political retaliation for highlighting a policy with which most of the Mainers do not agree,” said Libby.
Instead, she filed her trial against Fecte on March 11.
But the judge of the American district court of Rhode Island, Melissa Dubose, ruled against Libby In his case on April 22. Dubose, appointed by former president Joe Biden in January, ended up chairing the case after each district judge of Maine refused to take it.
Judges John C. Nivison, John A. Woodcock, launches E. Walker, Karen F. Wolf, Stacey D. Neumann and Nancy Torresen signed challenges shortly after the case. No reason has been given.
Dubose ended up with the case and ruled in favor of Fecteau. Then, the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled against Libby.
Last Monday, Libby announced that it would call on the Supreme Court for emergency intervention.
“We have not yet fully spent our day in court, I can’t wait to continue this process,” said Libby when asked if she thought she had a fair trial.
Libby says she expects to know if the Supreme Court will hear the case by Monday, May 5.

So far, the state representative has obviously had the federal government, in particular the administration of President Donald Trump.
The United States Ministry of Justice has announced a lawsuit against the state of Maine for its continuous challenge of Trump Executive order to keep biological men outside the sports of girls and women and violations of the title IX. Libby attended the press conference alongside the Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Linda McMahon.
The Ministry of Agriculture reduced federal state funding, which then continued the administration. A federal judge has already ruled that funding must be thawed.
Internally, many Mainers have already taken measures to align themselves with the issue of Libby and Trump. There have been two large -scale demonstrations in the state capital in Augusta, and a state school district, MSAD # 70, is already moving to institute its own policy to prohibit trans sports athletes from girls.
Now, Libby’s Scutu’s call will take place when the tension between the state and Trump is intensifying. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt referred to “prosecution” as a result to violate 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 continued them. Thus, anyone who will disobey the federal law will be continued, prosecuted or say goodbye to your federal funding, “Leavitt told journalists at a press conference on Monday.
Libby has not excluded the prosecution as a justified response if his condition continues to challenge Trump on the issue.
“We have seen so much happening in the past two months that we cannot certainly exclude anything,” said Libby when he has questioned potential prosecution to those responsible for his state.
“I hope this would not happen. I hope we can all agree that our young women should not be victims of discrimination.”
