Congressman Chip Roy Files Articles Of Impeachment Against Federal Judge Following Kavanaugh Sentencing

Well, it finally happened.
A federal judge just gave a slap-on-the-wrist sentence to a man — excuse me, a “transgender woman” — who traveled across the country with weapons, ammunition, zip ties, and a plan to assassinate a sitting Supreme Court Justice, and we’re all just supposed to nod along like this is normal.
Because attempting to murder a Supreme Court Justice isn’t as serious as… misgendering someone on Twitter.
Congressman Chip Roy isn’t buying the charade. On Monday, the Texas Republican officially filed articles of impeachment against Judge Deborah Boardman, the Biden-appointed federal judge who somehow decided that eight years in prison was sufficient punishment for Nicholas Roske, the man (yes, man) who plotted for months to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Prosecutors asked for 30 years. Federal guidelines said life. Judge Boardman? She said eight was plenty — because apparently prison might be too uncomfortable for someone who identifies as transgender.
Let that sink in.
A man literally stalks a Supreme Court justice’s home — after admitting he wanted to stop the Court from rolling back abortion and LGBT decisions — and the judge’s primary concern is whether “Sophie” might not get gender-affirming care in prison. Not the fact that this was a politically-motivated domestic terror plot. Not the fact that Roske admitted he wanted a Biden-appointed justice to take Kavanaugh’s place. No, the real tragedy, in Judge Boardman’s eyes, was that the attacker’s mom didn’t initially embrace the whole gender switch.
If you’re wondering how we got here, congratulations — you’re still sane.
And just when you think it can’t get more bizarre, Judge Boardman openly admits in the hearing that the sentence is being reduced because of gender identity concerns. She said she was “heartened” that the attempted assassination led to greater acceptance of Roske’s new identity as “Sophie.”
Read that again. A judge said she was “heartened” that a murder plot helped spark a family’s LGBTQ+ journey.
