Nicholas came out as Sophie in September of 2025. Roske in 2022 bought a gun and other equipment told others he intended to kill THREE conservative Supreme Court judges . He bought a one way ticket from California to Washington DC then traveled there and took a cab to Bret Kavanaugh's home with backpack containing
a firearm; black tactical chest rig and tactical knife; two magazines, each containing 10 rounds of ammunition; 17 additional rounds of ammunition; pepper spray; zip ties; a hammer; screwdrivers; nail punch; crowbar; pistol light; duct tape; hiking boots with padding on the outside of the soles; and lock-pick tools, along with other items.. He was certainly a man with a plan.

A federal judge sentenced Nicholas Roske, who now goes by Sophie, to eight years in prison on Friday for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the weeks leading up to the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision.
The sentence is far lower than what the Department of Justice had sought. Prosecutors said Roske should face at least 30 years, while Roske's defense team had asked for eight.
Judge Deborah Boardman said during the sentencing hearing that while Roske's actions were "reprehensible," the judge also considered a string of mitigating factors, including that Roske "spontaneously confessed to and cooperated with police."
"I believe Ms. Roske understands that what she did was terribly wrong. I find her remorse sincere," Boardman said.
DOJ prosecutor Coreen Mao said the sentence "must send the very strong, very clear message that the ends never justify violent means."
Kavanaugh also received a death threat in April from someone who invoked Roske's name and referenced shooting the justice in the head, Mao said, stressing a need to deter such behavior. That revelation comes as judges say they have faced a rise in threats from people across the political spectrum in recent years.
During the hearing, Boardman referred to Roske as a transgender woman, and Roske's attorneys told the court recently that while their client's legal name is Nicholas, Roske goes by the name Sophie and uses female pronouns.
Boardman, a Biden appointee, said she factored into the sentence her concern about Trump's executive order requiring transgender inmates to be detained in prisons that correspond to their sex at birth.....
==================================================
So this Biden appointed judge calls Nicholas Roske a her and refers to him as Ms Roske and is concerned that he will have to spend time in a male prison. Judge Boardman only gave Nicholas Roske 8 years. Presumably he will get credit for time served so he will get about 5 years more in prison. The prosecutors asked for 30 years. One has to wonder if Roske tried to murder a liberal Supreme Court justice and had a stated goal of killing three Supreme Court justices would Boardman's sentence have been for longer. Who thinks this sentence should be appealed to a higher court court.
