Montana State Representative Zooey Zephyr has filed a lawsuit against the state of Montana and the speaker of the Montana House after Republican lawmakers voted to censure and block her from speaking. The lawsuit seeks to overturn the censure and allow Zephyr to return to the House floor, and is expected to be heard in state district court in Helena. The case has been widely criticized by Democrats and civil rights groups, as it could have far-reaching implications for the rights of lawmakers in Montana and beyond.
