The man who attempted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman and was deeply mentally ill and suicidal, according to court documents first obtained by The Daily Wire.

The Department of Justice is recommending that the defendant, 29-year-old Nicholas Roske, be sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to kill the Supreme Court justice in 2022, according to a Friday filing outlining the case against Roske. Roske pled guilty to the attempt to kill a United States Supreme Court Justice in April 2025, three years after authorities arrested him in Kavanaugh’s neighborhood, carrying a bag full of weapons and burglary tools.

A filing from Roske’s defense attorneys shows that Roske now goes by “Sophie Roske” and that his legal team will refer to him using female pronouns. A footnote on the filing, obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire, explains that the defense will not use Roske’s legal name “out of respect” for the would-be assassin.

“The case is captioned as United States v. Nicholas John Roske,” lawyers for Roske state. “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.”

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 a 23-year-old trans-identifying gunman named Robin Westman opened fire on Catholic school children while they were praying in Minneapolis.

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.

The Friday DOJ filings show that Roske “meticulously researched, planned, and attempted to assassinate at least one — but had a stated target of three — sitting judges of the United States Supreme Court” with the “explicit objective” of “single-handedly” altering “the Constitutional order for ideological ends.” He conducted internet searches for the homes of the four Justices, purchased a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a rail-mounted tactical light with laser sight, tactical gloves, non-slip grip socks, cable ties, pepper spray, a lock pick set, a screwdriver, and a wrecking bar.

“My mental health is too poor for me to fear death,” he wrote on Discord on March 18, 2022, to another user, according to the DOJ 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.”

Nobody saw that coming.

Trans and severely mentally ill go hand in hand.

Aww!! Come on!
I had money on Right Wing, Christian, Conservative.
I'm going to have to change my betting strategy.

He was worried that he would lose the right to abort the babies he cannot have.

Those folks are fully radicalized and quite insane. Surprised we haven't seen organized trans hit squads. I would guess these squads would coordinate their outfits and call each other 'love'.

I’d guess that most transgender people are decent folks despite their unfortunate birth defect.

Another Discord user. How about that?

Yeah I guess that folks that cut off their dicks or try to grow one are decent folks. Just keep your shit to yourselves, don’t try to recruit kids or others to your twisted lifestyle and don’t think for a second that because of your deranged lifestyle and beliefs, that you deserve more rights than normal people.

That's okay, he'll have plenty of friends in prison.

Perhaps ATF Form 4473, needs an additional question: Do you identify as trans?

Not a bad idea, we need one more check box on the 4473.

I had the brief thought of this being a cynical ploy to elicit sympathy, but he's too stupid for that. Maybe not.

Someday we are going to look back as a society at this period in our history and just shake our collective heads.

Whoda thunk it? Giving already mentally ill people all sorts of hormones and medications their bodies cannot handle and then wonder why they’re all acting out violently like this.

If I ever go to prison I want it to be a women’s prison too. Probably his smartest move yet
