A California man will plead guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Lawyers for Nicholas Roske announced his intent in a letter to the judge overseeing the case. Roske was due to stand trial in June, and the charge carries up to life in prison according to The Hill.
“We write to inform the Court that Mr. Roske wishes to plead guilty to the one-count Indictment pending against him,” Roske’s public defenders, Andrew Szekely and Ellie Marranzini, wrote in the letter.

Authorities say they recovered a pistol, crow bar, ammunition, zip ties and other weapons and Roske later confessed to police he had shown up at Kavanaugh’s home intending to kill him. (RELATED: Gunman With Burglary Tools Arrested Near Brett Kavanaugh’s Home)
Court documents show Roske had told authorities he was suicidal and wanted to assassinate the justice to “make the world a better place.” He also connected his desire to the leaked draft opinion showing the court was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and the court’s forthcoming gun rights decision, according to the documents.
Roske’s attorneys have asked Boardman, an appointee of former President Biden, to convene the parties next week so Roske can enter his plea.
Threats against judges and judicial officials have spiked in recent years. Roske’s case has become among the most prominent in the recent indictments charging individuals with threatening violence against Supreme Court justices.
Chief Justice John Roberts has publicly rebuked President Donald Trump‘s recent call for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg. Judge Boasberg had issued a ruling blocking the administration’s deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, an 18th-century law invoked by President Trump. In response, President Trump labeled Boasberg a “troublemaker and agitator” and demanded his impeachment.

In an extraordinary display, Chief Justice Roberts emphasized that impeachment is not an appropriate mechanism for addressing disagreements with judicial decisions. He underscored that such disputes should be resolved through the appellate process, maintaining the judiciary’s independence and adherence to the rule of law.

Democrats in Congress repeatedly threatened the SCOTUS Justices. Where are the RICO arrests for that???
Famously, in 2020, the Senate Democratic Leader, Chuck Schumer (New York) threatened the Court to influence its rulings on abortion.
He said, “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
The Biden DOJ refused to arrest Marxist protestors outside the homes of SCOTUS Justices. That is a fereral crime!! Pam Bondi…………..Do something!
