A California man has been indicted on federal charges of attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice.

Nicholas John Roske, 26, of Simi Valley, is accused of trying to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Court documents say that last Wednesday, Roske traveled from California to Montgomery County, Maryland, where Kavanaugh lives.

Just after 1.a.m on June 8, he went to the associate justice's house with a pistol, ammunition, a knife, cable ties, pepper spray, duct tape and other items that he told police he would use to break into Kavanaugh's house, kill Kavanaugh and then himself...

I’m sure Soros will make a call to the appropriate people and this guy will be released.

I suppose assassination isn’t quite as bad when you are taking out the “right” people.

Are the “protesters” standing on the justices’ door steps any different?

I’m betting his sister was in on the plot but got cold feet at the last minute at the mention of U.S. Marshalls. She didn’t want him to flip on her.

The way the protests work is that the protesters are on the sidewalks and the police and federal marshals occupy the grass, sidewalks in front of the houses, driveways.

The protesters don’t make any death threats that I am aware of but the man indicted did say he wanted to kill Kavanaugh and then kill himself according the police.

The protesters ARE BREAKING FEDERAL LAW. They have shouted threats within earshot of the justices’ families. They are just as culpable criminals.

Nicholas John Roske, a 26-year-old from Simi Valley, took a taxi to Kavanaugh’s Maryland home and was armed with a Glock 17 handgun, a knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a nail punch, a crowbar, and a hammer, the complaint says.

This one person was carrying more weapons then all the J6 “insurrectionists” who had none of these items.

He was indicted on federal charges. He will have to face a federal judge. Crap shoot as to where the judge’s loyalty lies.

Unlike J6 defendants this man only faces one charge.

J6 defendants and any other federal defendant in your typical criminal case has a series of charges piled on them.

It’s done deliberately by federal prosecutors to force the accused to cut a plea deal ahead of trial and settle for a conviction and a lighter jail sentence.

And if the case ends up going to trial with a defendant having to pay six-figure lawyers to defend themselves this pile on of charges increases the likelihood that a jury will convict on one or more of them.

Federal prosecutors get 98 percent conviction rates in this environment.

This guy gets one charge on him and a federal jury in Maryland gets to say guilty or not guilty on this one single charge.

Has anyone told Biden about this. Apparently he has not mentioned this, which is pretty big news.

The Feds are overcharging this guy FOR A REASON.

This is a horrible precedent whereby ANYONE carrying a firearm could be charged with ATTEMPTED MURDER.

“How close did this man bun progressive get to Kavanaugh’s house?”

He probably flew in with Kamala Harris.

Wait until months end.
Violence will explode. Justices ought to be out ofcountry till the next term starts. They would be wise to adopt virtual hearings and meetings till after the election

"A California man has been indicted on federal charges of attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice."

They'll never make that charge stick..

Maybe they deliberately charged him in such away.. It's got so I don't trust anyone, or anything. :(

He admitted that he took the steps necessary to be eligible for “attempted” charge...he had procured and possessed weapons, he traveled, with said weapons, to where the intended victim was, and he told police what his intention was.
