Maine judges won’t be involved in Rep. Laurel Libby lawsuit
AUGUSTA, Maine (WABI/WMTW) – All of Maine’s active federal judges have recused themselves from a lawsuit made by Republican Representative Laurel Libby.
Just Tuesday, Libby filed a lawsuit against House Speaker Ryan Fecteau after being censured by the legislature roughly two weeks ago.
The party-line censure came after Democrats argued that Libby had overstepped by posting photos of a transgender high school athlete as she criticized the state’s policy of allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls sports.
Our media partner WMTW has confirmed that the Maine Attorney General’s Office will represent Fecteau.
