UPDATE, April 3, 2025:<\/strong> Nicholas Roske, who plotted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, will now plead guilty<\/a> to one count of attempting to assassinate a justice of the United States. His case was going to be tried in June, but his lawyers are now requesting a hearing this month for him to enter his plea.<\/p>\n

Roske had admitted to wanting to kill Kavanaugh in retaliation for the overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, and online statements indicated he wanted to kill a total of three Supreme Court justices.<\/p>\n

January 7, 2025:<\/strong> In 2022, armed would-be assassin Nicholas Roske was arrested<\/a> outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, for plotting to kill the justice. Now new details are coming to light about his plan to assassinate Kavanaugh, including his motive: to prevent the overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The failed assassination attempt took place after a draft opinion<\/a> in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em> was leaked in May of 2022, indicating that the Supreme Court planned to overturn Roe<\/em>. Late last week, The Washington Post reported<\/a> new details about Roske’s plan to assassinate Kavanaugh \u2014 including the fact that upon his arrest, a Glock pistol, a tactical knife, two magazines of ammunition, pepper spray, a hammer, a screwdriver, a crowbar, and duct tape were found in his suitcase. Roske told police his plans were to break into Kavanaugh’s home, murder him, and then commit suicide.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him,” he said.<\/p>\n
