In May 2022, a cowardly traitor destroyed the sanctity of the Supreme Court, violating one of its essential values: secrecy. This degenerate leaked the draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that a month later finally ended the 1973 constitutional abomination known as Roe v. Wade.. Nearly three and a half years later, the speaker remains unnamed, even as he or she unleashed a summer of violent threats from leftists and continued intimidation of a majority of the Supreme Court in their homes and in their children’s schools, in flagrant violation of 18 U.S. Code §1507 and other federal criminal statutes—as well as the near-murder of another judge and his family. Last Friday, the judiciary was betrayed again – this time directly by a sitting judge.
SEN. KENNEDY LEFT SHOCKED BY JUDGE’S 8-YEAR SENTENCE FOR ATTEMPTED KAVANAUGH KILLER
Nicholas Roske, a pet store employee from California, was very angry about the Dobbs leak. He was a staunch supporter of abortion and wanted to stop the overthrow of Roe. Instead of campaigning to elect Democrats who would implement his preferred agenda — the actions of someone who truly respects representative democracy — Roske planned and prepared extensively and then flew from Los Angeles International Airport to the area near the home of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, one of the alleged members of the majority according to the Dobbs leak. In a series of social media posts before his departure, Roske indicated he wanted to kill three Supreme Court justices to preserve abortion rights.

Roske was well prepared to kill Judge Kavanaugh. He brought with him, among other things, a handgun, nearly 40 rounds of ammunition, a tactical knife, lock picking tools, a nail punch, a crowbar, a pistol light, duct tape, pepper spray, zip ties and walking boots with padding on the soles so that he could move more calmly through the Kavanaughs’ home. Judge Kavanaugh lives with his wife and two teenage daughters. God forbid what would have happened if the other Kavanaughs had tried to defend him. However, when Roske arrived, he found that he could not carry out his plan because the police were outside the Kavanaughs’ home. Roske realized they had seen him and called 911. He claimed to be suicidal and confessed his murder plan to the dispatcher.
When police arrived and arrested Roske, he repeated his confession and explained why he wanted to kill Judge Kavanaugh. He has been in prison for the past three and a half years. Last Friday, he finally received his sentence following his guilty plea before U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland. Boardman was one of President Biden’s first judicial appointments — and one of his worst, which is quite a statement considering some of the horrific rulings Biden-appointed judges have made. However, Boardman’s condemnation of Roske stands out as the decision most deserving of infamy. The Public Prosecution Service rightly imposed a prison sentence of thirty years. A Supreme Court justice has never been assassinated in the United States; Indeed, only one other attempt had occurred before Judge Kavanaugh’s brush with death.
Roske had a secret weapon at his side: his so-called mental illness, gender dysphoria. While in prison, Roske indicated that he was transgender and that he wanted to be called Sophie and addressed with female pronouns. Boardman accepted this and mused at sentencing that a silver lining had emerged from the attempted assassination of Judge Kavanaugh – that Roske’s mother now recognized his gender identity. Boardman called Roske a woman. Then she delivered the final straw, handing down a pathetically lenient sentence of eight years in prison, followed by life on supervised release. Eight years. That is apparently the legal price to pay for an act that, had it succeeded, would have torn the very fabric of the Republic. The murder would have changed history, like Roo would have been safe for decades. There is no doubt that Biden would have nominated a left-wing candidate to replace Judge Kavanaugh, and the Democratic-controlled Senate would have gleefully confirmed the nominee. So much for the rule of law.
Judges must begin imposing sentences by calculating the appropriate range under the Sentencing Guidelines. The Guidelines are a starting point for subdistrict judges and have an advisory nature. Boardman incorrectly denied a terrorism enhancement for Roske. If his behavior was not an attempt to commit an act of terror, nothing is. He wanted to kill three judges to change the outcome of one of the most contentious cases in American history. In addition to that mistake, Boardman made another mistake: she imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence.

Courts, unlike district judges, must assume that sentences within the range of the Guidelines are reasonable. However, Boardman gave a huge departure in favor of Roske. There are precedents in various circuits for reversing sentences as substantively unreasonable. The Seventh Circuit did just that in United States v. Vrdolyak (2010), a case in which a left-wing judge absurdly granted probation to a corrupt former Democratic Chicago councilman nicknamed “Fast Eddie” who had committed massive fraud. The Eleventh Circuit also reversed another left-wing judge who imposed a woefully lenient sentence in United States v. Martin (2005, 2006). That court made the mistake of remanding to the same judge for resentencing after the first reversal, but did not repeat the mistake.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has rightly decided to appeal this abomination of a decision. If the left-controlled Fourth Circuit doesn’t overturn Boardman, the Supreme Court should. Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk, was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison for providing unauthorized access to the county’s election system in an effort to root out fraud. Her actions did not change a single voice and there was no risk of violence. In contrast, Roske, who tried to kill a Supreme Court judge, was given a year and a half less time. This inequality in favor of Roske is indefensible. Boardman even gave an identity thief a month ago a sentence that is six months harsher than the one she imposed on Roske.
Aside from Judge Kavanaugh, no other judge should recuse himself. In In re Neagle (1890), the Supreme Court heard a dispute over the attempted murder of Judge Stephen Field after California charged the deputy marshal who guarded him with murder. In pre-trial detention, the court that revokes this monstrous decision must order that the case be reassigned to another judge.
Boardman, a federal public defender for more than a decade, has shown she is unable to craft a sentence that will deter similar behavior. If this verdict stands, Roske will be free in about four years, given the time he has already served. However, Judge Kavanaugh and his family will be affected for the rest of their lives. And for Boardman’s court, it is abundantly clear that the lives of conservative judges are not nearly as important as a happy ending to gender identity. The House of Representatives must immediately initiate an impeachment inquiry against Judge Boardman.
