The Department of Justice is recommending that Nicholas Roske, the defendant, should be sentenced to 30 years for attempting to kill a United State Supreme Court justice.
In the filings obtained by The Daily Wire, DOJ attorneys argue that the 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 revelation that Roske has been using a female name and pronouns is significant given the rise in transgender violence across the United States.

A gunman living with his transgender boyfriend is accused of murdering Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk last week.
Kirk’s murder came only a few weeks after 23-year-old trans-identifying gunman named Robin Westman opened fire on Catholic school children as they prayed at in Minneapolis.
Kirk’s accused killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was living/in a relationship with a 22-year-old trans-identified male named Lance Twiggs, thrown out of his family home for allegedly abusing drugs and alcohol and excessive gaming.
Though it was reported in 2022 that Roske portrayed himself as a self-styled “trans gamer girl” on the internet, more information about the attempted assassin’s gender identity has not been made available to the public. Roske’s story had largely vanished from public scrutiny, other than occasional updates on his sentencing and charges.

After the leak, published by POLITICO in May 2022, Roske searched terms relating to combat and body armor approximately 28 times.
Within a month, he had searched for firearms-related terms over 90 times. That included “quietest semi auto rifle,” “gun calibers,” “best silencers…

Man who attempted to assassinate Kavanaugh identifies as a woman
DOJ seeks 30-year sentence for defendant Nicholas Roske, who now goes by the name Sophie
By Ashley Oliver, Fox News, September 19, 2025:
A man who pleaded guilty to attempting to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022 is now using a female name and pronouns, according to a court document filed Friday.
Nicholas Roske, who is scheduled to be sentenced next month, is using the name Sophie Roske and a “Ms.” title for the first time in a court filing in a case that has stretched for three years.
The court filing was a routine request in anticipation of Roske’s sentencing, which is set for Oct. 3. But the filing referenced Roske by the name “Sophie,” while a footnote revealed that Nicholas remains Roske’s legal first name.
placeholder“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,” the footnote stated.
FEDERAL JUDGE RELEASES WOMAN ACCUSED OF THREATENING TO KILL TRUMP
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is pictured.It is unclear if Roske is undergoing any treatments to become transgender. Fox News Digital reached out to the defendant’s defense team for comment.
Pro-life and pro-choice protesters demonstrate outside the Supreme Court buildingRoske arrived at Kavanaugh’s house June 8, 2022, with a pistol, ammunition, a knife, a crowbar and tactical gear. Roske eventually called 9-1-1 and turned himself in after receiving a call from his sister and observing U.S. marshals in front of the justice’s house.
The incident occurred just two weeks before the Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision overturning Roe v. Wade, an expected decision that had drawn protesters to the Supreme Court building and conservative justices’ houses for weeks leading up to it.
The Department of Justice is seeking a 30-year sentence. In a sentencing memorandum, prosecutors referenced “mental health issues” the defendant has had for about a decade that included thoughts of violently murdering his sister. He has received treatment for the issues, specifics of which were not included in the memorandum.
