The federal judge criticized for an 8 -year sentence in the attempted assassination of Kavanaugh

The federal judge who condemned the defendant found guilty of having tried to assassinate the judge of the American Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh is criticized by the conservatives on social networks for the duration of the sentence and for concerns about Nicholas Roske, who identifies himself as transgender.

Justice Deborah Boardman, named by Biden, sentenced Roske to eight years in prison on Friday for trying to assassinate Kavanaugh in June 2022, in the weeks preceding the Dobbs decision of the Supreme Court.

The penalty is much lower than the Ministry of Justice (DOJ) had asked. Prosecutors said Roske should face at least 30 years, while Roske’s defense team had requested eight.

Boardman said during the condemnation hearing that even if Roske’s actions were “reprehensible”, she also examined a series of attenuating factors, including Roske “spontaneously admitted and cooperated with the police”.

“The judge of the American district Deborah Boardman – a person named from Biden – is a national shame,” wrote Mike Davis on Friday, lawyer and strategist and former chief lawyer in the Senate, Chuck Grassley. “She only condemned 8 years, instead of 30 years, someone who tried to assassinate judge Kavanaugh and her family in their house. Do not be mistaken: today’s Democrats want the conservatives to be killed.”

Another person wrote that Boardman “must be removed from the bench on the right the F — Now”, then shared a screenshot from another article mentioning that Boardman asked if Roske would be sent to a prison for women.

The author Ma Rothman called the “pathetic” sentence.

“A guy who appeared in the house of a judge of the Supreme Army Court and ready to have a lighter sentence to him than certain people for tax crimes-and the judge transformed him into a story of trans acceptance,” he added. “It was beyond the parody. The Doj wanted 30 years. He was 8 years old. And the media barely blocked.”

Another person on X fell into Boardman given the “fact that he now identifies as a woman to give him a lower sentence”.

The Doj plans to call on the penalty, the prosecutor General Pam Bondi announced on Friday.

“The attempted assassination of the judge of the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh was a disgusting attack on the whole of our judicial system by a deeply disturbed individual,” she wrote on X. “@thejusticedept will appeal the terribly insufficient sentence imposed by the district court, which does not reflect the horrible facts of this case.”

Boardman was appointed US magistrate judge for the district of Maryland in 2019, until she was appointed by former president Joe Biden to become an American district judge. It was confirmed by the Senate in 2021.
