Well here's another example of progressive logic. Nicholas Roske, the guy who rolled up to Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house in 2022 with a gun and some seriously bad intentions, is now begging for a lighter sentence because, well, he's transgender.
Yes, the man who allegedly plotted to assassinate a Supreme Court justice is now "Sophie," and his family, for some crazy reason, thinks that's a get-out-of-jail-free card. Because nothing screams "leniency" like trying to murder a judge, right?
According to court documents, Roske’s mom found a hospital discharge paper in his suitcase labeled “Sophie Roske.” She told the judge, “This is when several of the pieces of the puzzle started coming together.” Puzzle? Lady, your son showed up armed outside a justice’s home. The only puzzle here is why anyone thinks a new name changes the crime.
The government is pushing for 30 years behind bars, but Roske's defense team, in a September 19 filing, made sure to note he's using female pronouns now. His family is out here writing character references, arguing his new-found "transgender identity" should score him a softer sentence. His mom told the judge, "Since her incarceration, we have been able to have open and honest conversations about her gender identity and how that evolved." Oh, great, so now it’s a therapy session instead of a felony. Aren't women who try to murder people sent to prison?
Roske himself chimed in with a letter to Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee who, by the way, once blocked parents from opting their kids out of LGBTQ storybook lessons (a ruling the Supreme Court slapped down in July). Roske's excuse is that he was "in the closet" when he planned the hit, so naturally, that makes it less bad. "I am also sorry for contributing to a trend of political violence in American politics," he wrote, adding he was "raised by conservative Christian parents who loved me and still love me."

So he's implying that we should blame Mom and Dad’s Bible-thumping for my assassination attempt.
He claims he was suicidal, off his meds, and skipping therapy during COVID because virtual sessions weren't his vibe. Then the Dobbs leak happened, and apparently, his "self-esteem was at rock bottom," so he figured, why not take a shot at a Supreme Court justice? Solid logic there, Sophie.
Roske's dad told the judge his kid struggled during COVID, ditched a master's program, and bounced around like a pinball. "One day, she suddenly said she was moving out of the house and into a communal living space,” he wrote. Then it was off to Seattle with "no job or prospects," only to slink back home to substitute teach. His friends say he started dabbling in "nihilistic worldviews" and Googling gems like "Nietzsche quotes" and "nothing is true, everything is permitted."

Deep stuff for a guy plotting murder.
A friend named John told the judge, "Both of us, on our individual quests for moral truth, have had to confront the ugly hypocrisy that is the American church." He added, "But what I think counts is what she did not do."

Oh, so we're handing out medals for not killing someone now? Roske's sister, who is gay, of course, says their parents have evolved, attending PFLAG meetings and embracing the rainbow. "While transgenderism is not the same as a gay identity, I have actively see this growth mindset that my parents demonstrated in their relationship with me--transfer over to their acceptance of Sophie," she wrote. She's also worried "Sophie" might end up in a men's prison with “"limited access to gender-affirming care." Because that's the real tragedy here, not the whole assassination plot.
Roske has been on hormones in detention, thanks to a Bureau of Prisons memo green-lighting hormone therapy after a judge blocked a Trump executive order. He says his "whole perspective shifted" when he got to Kavanaugh's neighborhood and realized, oops, judges are "real people too." So he called 911 on himself, standing outside Kavanaugh’s house with a gun, ready to end it all. "I’m out to my entire family now and they have been very accepting," he wrote.

Heartwarming.
Roske pleaded guilty in April, and his sentencing is set for Friday.
This is the state of our justice system, where a guy can try to kill a Supreme Court justice, then play the trans card and expect a pat on the back. If Judge Boardman buys this sob story, we're in deeper trouble than I thought.
