The man charged with attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision leak identifies as transgender, his attorneys revealed in court documents filed Friday.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) recommended a 30-year sentence for Nicholas Roske, who was arrested with burglary tools and a gun outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home in June 2022 after telling officers he intended to kill the Supreme Court justice.
Defense attorneys referred to Nicholas John Roske, who in April indicated he would plead guilty, by the name “Sophie Roske” in a filing on Friday.
“The case is captioned as United States v. Nicholas John Roske,” the defense attorneys wrote in a filing Friday. “That name remains Ms. Roske’s legal name, and she has not asked to recaption the case. Out of respect for Ms. Roske, the balance of this pleading and counsel’s in-court argument will refer to her as Sophie and use female pronouns.”
As recently as this year, Kavanaugh received a letter stating he must “die” that referenced Roske’s name, which shows his actions “will continue to have consequences for the Court and its members for years to come,” the government argued in its sentencing memo.
“This Court’s sentence must send the unequivocal, clear, and strong message that attempted violence and threats of violence against members of the judiciary — as well as other public and federal officials — cannot and will not be tolerated, and will be justly and severely condemned,” the memo states. “The Court’s sentence must also be significant to reflect the harm sought to be inflicted on the judiciary, and to send the message that the consequences for these acts — no fewer than 30 years to life in prison — are not worth the perceived ideological ends.”
Court records reveal Roske used the name “Sophie” online as early as 2022.
“Yeah I mean my mental health is too poor for me to fear death,” Roske wrote under the username “Sophie42#6535” on Discord in March 2022, according to a filing. “But prison sounds worse. To be monitored to the point where you can’t even kill yourself. So if I did kill someone I would definitely try to get away with it.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement Friday that Roske’s attempt “was an attack on the entire judicial system that cannot go unpunished.”
“This Department of Justice condemns political violence and our prosecutors will ensure that this disturbed individual faces severe consequences for his deranged actions,” Bondi said.
Roske’s sentencing hearing is set for Oct. 3.

Wait a minute. This man is caught attempting an assassination, yet his attorney has the gall to say, “Out of RESPECT of…” this criminal, well refer to him as “her.” Respect? What respect did he give Justice Kavanaugh when he was planning to murder him?
I think we’re living in the Upside-Down.
It’s becoming pretty common.
– Trans killer Robin Westman walked into a Catholic school in Aug. and killed 2 children and wounded 17 others; almost all children.
– Then there was the 17 year old transgender or “gender fluid” that in January 2024 went into an Iowa middle school and killed one child and injured four others. It seems like the left doesn’t want us to know that this is becoming a trend for these insane and confused youth.
– The 26-year-old behind the Sept. 20, 2018, mass shooting outside a Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen, Maryland, was a transvestite who had reportedly been receiving hormone therapy and planning to get a sex change operation.
-The woman behind the 2019 STEM School Highlands Ranch mass shooting in Colorado was also a transvestite transitioning at the time she took aim at unarmed students.
-The lawyers for the man behind the November 2022 massacre at a non-straight nightclub in Colorado Springs, which left five dead and 25 injured, indicated he identified as non-binary.
– And of course we all know about LGBT activist who shot up a Christian elementary school in Nashville in 2023, killing three children and three adults, was another transvestite who identified as a man. This one (even though she was white) actually had a detailed anti-white, anti-Christian manifesto that they buried for over a year because it didn’t fit the preferred lie of mass shooters being male white supremacists. It used to be that transgenderism was classified as “gender disorder”; a mental illness. Then the psychiatrists changed it in the DSM-5 to “gender dysphoria” to be less severe and more “compassionate”. Now we watch as they compound mental illness with powerful, potentially psychotic inducing hormone drugs and is it any wonder that some of them become mass murderers?
