Brett Kavanaugh''s would-be assassin gets just over 8 years in prison
2025-10-04
[NYPOST] The Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, 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 —
…more fully Nicholas John Roske, 29, from Simi Valley, California…
who now identifies as a trans woman named ''Sophie'' —
..an unexpected twist, when first revealed. Is there also a Black Bloc/Antifa connection?
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 liquidation to obstruct judicial independence, that these ends never justify the means and that the consequences are not worth engaging in these acts.''
