Biden Judge Gives Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Trans Assassin Minimum Sentence Because He’s Trans

He should have gotten 30 years but the Biden judge considered fact that he now identifies as a woman into giving him a lower sentence.

Eight years. The man who attacked Paul Pelosi, David DePape, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on state charges.

Our judicial system is irretrievably broken.

AG Pam Bondi is appealing the minimum 8-year sentence given to transgender attempted assassin Nicholas Roske, who tried to kill SCOTUS Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Biden judge showed leniency because Roske is transgender – it has been confirmed.

“The attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a disgusting attack against our entire judicial system by a profoundly disturbed individual. The Department of Justice will be appealing the woefully insufficient sentence imposed by the district court, which does not reflect the horrific facts of this case,” Bondi said, per Daily Wire.

Remember this:

Democrat judges gave a shorter sentence to a man who attempted to murder a Supreme Court justice (Nicholas Roske) than a woman who disputed the 2020 election (Tina Peters).

Maryland U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman—a Biden appointee—is a national disgrace.

She only sentenced to 8 years, instead of 30, someone who attempted to murder Justice Kavanaugh and his family in their home.

BREAKING: In an outrageous development, the “transgender woman” who tried to assassinate conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh got just 8 YEARS in prison – and the Biden judge took into consideration the fact he is TRANSGENDER.

I was feet away from Roske: he’s a very tall man with a very deep voice and huge Adams apple. He got the judge to assert he couldn’t stand to be in a men’s prison, even though he’s attracted to women. He’s just a pervert that wants to be walked on a leash with a collar: pic.twitter.com/vceqte6G7j

Brett Kavanaugh’s would-be assassin gets just over 8 years in prison

By: Josh Christenson, NY Post, Oct. 3, 2025, 5:22 p.m. ET

The California man who attempted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh following the leak of an opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was sentenced to eight years and one month in federal prison Friday, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release.

The sentence imposed upon Nicholas Roske — who now identifies as a trans woman named “Sophie” — by Biden-appointed federal judge Deborah Boardman, amounted to a defeat for federal prosecutors, who had requested that Roske be sentenced to 30 years to life. Roske’s defense team had asked for an eight-year sentence and 25 years of supervised release.

“The defendant’s actions and intent — which were determined, focused, and undeterred for months — were extremely dangerous to the lives of multiple sitting judges, their family members, and the Constitutional judicial order,” prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo filed Sept. 26.

“The sentence imposed in this case must send the powerful message, both to the defendant and to others who contemplate committing assassination to obstruct judicial independence, that these ends never justify the means and that the consequences are not worth engaging in these acts.”

Nicholas John Roske was sentenced to eight years and one month in federal prison Friday

Roske was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home in June 2022, carrying a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a tactical light, zip ties, pepper spray and burglary tools. He told investigators he planned to kill the justice after the Supreme Court’s draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health was published the previous April by Politico.

The then-26-year-old took a taxi from Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia to Kavanaugh’s Chevy Chase residence around 1 a.m. — but apparently abandoned his plan after noticing two U.S. Marshals Service deputies guarding justice’s home.

Roske told authorities that he was inspired to kill because he was outraged over a bombshell report that the Supreme Court was set to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Instead of approaching the house, Roske kept walking down the street and took a phone call from a relative.

Moments later, Roske dialed 911, reported having suicidal and homicidal thoughts and asked for psychiatric help.

The defendant apologized in court to Kavanaugh, the justice’s family and other members of the high court for the fear he inflicted.

“I have been portrayed as a monster, and this tragic mistake that I made will follow me for the rest of my life,” Roske said.

In a written letter to the court, the would-be assassin also apologized “for contributing to a trend of political violence in American politics. I can see now how destructive and misguided such acts are, and am ashamed to have not recognized these things sooner.”

The prosecution’s memo claimed that Roske had searched for information about three Supreme Court justices “over 60 times” and “researched guns and purchasing guns over 100 times.”

Assassinating one of the justices could change the decisions of the nine-member high court “for decades to come,” Roske wrote over an encrypted messaging platform to another user in May 2022, according to prosecutors.
