🇺🇸 BREAKING — A Biden-appointed federal judge is under fire from conservatives after handing down an 8-year prison sentence for the would-be assassin of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Here’s the Republican tone breakdown:⸻What happened: • In June 2022, a person named Nicholas Roske (now identifying as Sophie) traveled across the country, armed with a pistol, knives, zip ties, and tools, to Kavanaugh’s home intending to kill him.  • Prosecutors asked for 30 years or more, citing the severity and potential threat to the judiciary.  • Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, instead sentenced the defendant to just 8 years and lifetime supervision.  • In her ruling, Boardman acknowledged the crime was “reprehensible,” but cited mitigating factors — including the defendant’s cooperation, remorse, and factors tied to gender identity.  • Conservatives are blasting the ruling as “lenient,” “a joke,” and even a betrayal of justice.  • Attorney General Pam Bondi says the DOJ will appeal, calling the sentence “woefully insufficient” and not reflective of the gravity of the attack. ⸻Why conservatives are outraged:They see this as symptomatic of a dangerous trend: left-leaning judges handing out soft sentences for violent ideologically motivated crimes. If a plot to assassinate a Supreme Court justice gets just 8 years, what message does that send to radicals?They argue this undermines deterrence, endangers public servants, and weakens respect for the rule of law.⸻We’re watching this closely — if the DOJ’s appeal fails or is watered down, it could set a concerning precedent.#JusticeForKavanaugh #RuleOfLaw #NoLeniencyForViolence #HoldJudgesAccountable #ProtectOurCourtssystem
