Justices Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh joined Justice Kagan’s majority opinion.

 

Interesting coalition.

Probably one of the few times you'll see all those names together on a majority opinion.

Wow, the official report on Clarence Thomas that has been in the works for two years is out.  It states that he is a bigger crook than Scalia and on a scale never heard of before.  Geeze, who knew?????(other than half the population)..

WASHINGTON — A woman who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh three years ago was sentenced Friday to more than eight years in prison.

Sophie Roske, now 29, was arrested near Kavanaugh’s home in June 2022 and told officials at the time that she intended to kill the associate justice, then herself.

She appeared in court on Friday for her sentencing in a yellow jail jumpsuit. Members of Kavanaugh’s family as well as Roske’s were at the sentencing.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman sentenced Roske to 97 months in prison — eight years and one month — saying that she felt Roske has shown remorse for her actions. She also ordered Roske, whom she referred to as a transgender woman, to a lifetime of supervised release.

“She has taken full responsibility for her actions,” Boardman said before handing down the sentence.

In a federal filing last month, Roske’s attorneys referred to her as Sophie Roske, though the case is still captioned by her legal name because she did not ask to recaption the case, her attorneys said.

In court on Friday, Coreen Mao, the attorney representing the Department of Justice, argued that the crime was premeditated because Roske had bought weapons on nine different occasions and made Google searches about serial killers and mass shootings. The government requested a 30-year sentence.
