Federal judges in Maine said they were forced by their ethical codex to get out of the case presented by state ambassador Maine Gop Laurel Libby.
Libby, R-Bango, causes its censorship in the state legislative body, which was issued in response to its opposition to transgender athletes competing in women’s high school sports.
Referees in the US District Court for Maine County, the only state federal court, announced on Wednesday that everyone will be is taking place from Libby’s case, forcing him to be transferred to court in Rhode Island. Although the judges initially did not perform for any reason that explained the mass rejection, Chief Judge Lance Walker said in a statement on Wednesday night that the result of a potential conflict of interest.
“The judges of the Maine district independently concluded that they were forced by the Code of Behavior for the Judge of the United States to be drawn because the employee of the Maine district involved or directly influenced the controversy based on this litigation,” Walker said. “The case will remain in the MAINA district, but it is particularly assigned to the judges in the Rhode of Iceland.”

While Walker’s explanation threw some light on reasoning behind a mass rejection, it failed to determine the exact nature of the conflict of interest. Digital Analysis of Fox News Public Records revealed that a athlete of transgender high schools in the center Libby’s Censorship Square – Submitted after posting a photo of a athlete competing before crossing – shares a surname with someone who works in the US District Court system for the MAINE district.
“There seemed to be a reasonable explanation that these judges were being pulled out, that everyone had a close relationship with someone related to an athlete,” said Carrie Campbell Severino, president of the judicial crisis network. Severino said, when asked about a possible family relationship: “My concern is now – how was this next judge chosen? Because there is a lot of questions about whether this judge could actually be impartial in that case.”

Due to the rejection of the judges, Judge Biden appointed Melissa Dubose from Rhode Iceland’s district will now monitor the case.
During Dubose’s hearing in March 2024, Senator John Kennedy, r-la.. She questioned the deep because of the comments she gave a journalist about passing through the “Marxist phase” at a certain moment of her life. “Senator, I have never been a Marxist and I haven’t [currently] Marxist, “said Dubose.
In 2021, he signed a letter together with a series of other judges on Rhode Iceland, providing the LGBTQ community, racial minorities “and all the unavailable communities” which are “their courts on the Rhode of Island.” The letter followed the set of thousands on the stairs of the state house that protested on police brutality.

Severino said it was “difficult to imagine” that the Duboos would be able to provide a fair trial in the Libby case, which focuses on the very disputed LGBTQ problems.
“It is not clear to me how it was decided to go to Rhode Island, unlike another jurisdiction nearby. There are other neighboring countries where the case could theoretically go,” Severino said. “Now that it has been moved, there are further concerns about the ability of this judge to be impartial.”
