So let’s get this straight — a man meticulously plots the assassination of a sitting Supreme Court Justice, travels across the country with a backpack full of weapons, and then pleads guilty in federal court… and now his family is asking for leniency because he identifies as a woman and needs “relaxation and the outdoors” to thrive?
This is real. This is actually happening.
Nicholas Roske — or “Sophie,” as his family now insists we call him — tried to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh. He didn’t just have a bad day. He wasn’t having a moment of confusion at TSA. He had a plan, a target, a weapon, and an agenda. The kind of agenda that included “altering the Constitutional order for ideological ends,” according to the DOJ. But sure, let’s talk about access to gender-affirming therapy and park walks.
Because in today’s progressive America, ideology apparently trumps attempted assassination.
The family of Nicholas Roske, who tried to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, is asking the court for leniency because he now says he’s trans.

In letters dated after Roske pleaded guilty, his family paints a portrait of a gentle soul trapped in the wrong body, a misunderstood thinker who just needs structure, sunlight, and some time away from the horrors of… federal prison. You know, the one he earned by showing up outside a Supreme Court justice’s house with zip ties, a Glock 17, and a wrecking bar.
You can’t make this up. Except someone did — and they’re hoping a Biden-appointed judge buys the entire screenplay.

The mother, the father, the sister — they all lean into the idea that Roske shouldn’t be incarcerated because prison would interfere with his ability to self-actualize as a trans woman. His sister says he needs therapy, his dad says he needs help organizing his life, and the family collectively argues that he has “so much to offer” if only the court would release him into their loving care.
This is the new standard, apparently: Attempted political assassination is now something we explain away with family letters and gender identity.
And just in case the judge isn’t moved by the basic “he’s struggling mentally” argument, the family tosses in the usual COVID anxiety, online isolation, and… the Boy Scouts. Because being homeschooled and not having a solid friend group in high school somehow leads you to fly cross-country to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice? Bold theory. Stranger still, it’s being floated like it’s supposed to reduce the severity of what he did.
Let’s stop here for a moment.
Imagine — for one second — if this were a MAGA-supporting young man arrested with a Glock, zip ties, and pepper spray outside Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s house. Now imagine his family sent letters to the judge saying he shouldn’t go to prison because he recently began identifying as a woman and needed to “thrive” in the outdoors.
The media meltdown would be radioactive.
But in Roske’s case, you have a sympathetic chorus willing to amplify the idea that gender identity and emotional fragility somehow nullify intent, preparation, and motive. Never mind that he researched the justices’ addresses online. Never mind that far-left activists doxxed those addresses in the wake of the Roe leak. Never mind that Roske himself wrote on Discord that “prison sounds worse than death” and that he hoped to “do something positive before I die” — which, to him, meant murdering a conservative justice.
This wasn’t some unhinged outburst. This was a cold, deliberate attempt to politically assassinate a Supreme Court justice because of his judicial philosophy.
And now his family wants the court to show mercy — not because he’s reformed, not because he’s innocent, but because of his pronouns.
The man who attempted to kill Bret Kavanaugh is now a trans and goes by Sophie. Filings in the court case show he used female pronouns before trying to kill Kavanaugh. So now again, another Transgender shooting. Nicholas Roske plead guilty and is facing 30 years in prison. pic.twitter.com/Qpk3PUNImc

(@1109Patricia) No wonder the DOJ is pushing back, urging the court to make an example out of this case. Because if the message sent here is that ideology and identity can soften the consequences of politically motivated violence, we’ve crossed a line we may not come back from.
Thirty years is the bare minimum.
Let’s not pretend that “she” just made a mistake. “She” planned an execution.
And we’re not playing along.
