Montana Attorney General’s Office has filed a motion at the Montana Supreme Court asking one of the sitting justices to be removed or recuse herself from presiding over a controversial, long-running case.
Assistant Attorney General Thane Johnson has forwarded in a bid to oust Supreme Court Associate Justice Laurie McKinnon .
The petition accuses McKinnon of violating the state's canon of judicial ethics and said she should have intervened to stifle comments made by three attorneys and one retired state district court judge.
The attorney general’s office cites several codes or canons of judicial conduct it believes McKinnon violated.
The ACLU contends that had McKinnon commented or curtailed the conversation that she would have found herself in a Catch-22.
The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning the appeal could be refiled with the proper paperwork.
In 2021 , the Montana Legislature changed state law so that it would require any person wanting to change the gender designation on a birth certificate to obtain a doctor's certification and an unspecified surgery.
