Montana judge rules against Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a transgender lawmaker, in her attempt to return to the statehouse House floor after being silenced and banished for admonishing Republican lawmakers. Zephyr's attorneys argued that her First Amendment rights were violated, but the judge ruled that the House of Representatives had the authority to control its proceedings. Zephyr has vowed to continue to fight for her rights and the rights of other transgender individuals in the state.
