A California resident, Sophie Roske, was sentenced to over eight years in prison for attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Roske, who expressed anger over the leaked Roe v. Wade draft and gun violence, was apprehended after calling 911 herself. While the judge cited Roske's remorse and abandonment of the plot, prosecutors argued the sentence was too lenient, with the Justice Department planning an appeal. The case highlights rising political violence threats against federal judges.
