The suspect charged two months ago with attempting to murder a conservative justice, had identified himself as a “male-to-female” and a “trans gamer girl” named Sophie, according to online posts he previously wrote.
Nicholas John Roske, 26, attempted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on June 8, but was arrested near the justice’s personal home in Maryland. Carrying a firearm and ammunition, the pro-abortion activist from Simi Valley, California, said he was upset by the then-potential overturning of Roe v. Wade, a 50-year-old court decision that legalized abortion nationwide in the United States.
