Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, who sentenced the man who planned to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to just eight years and one month in prison.

Boardman handed down the 97-month sentence to Nicholas Roske, who now identifies as a transgender woman named Sophie, on Friday — far below the 30-year term sought by federal prosecutors. Roske was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s home in June 2022 with a pistol, ammunition, zip ties, and burglary tools, telling police he intended to kill at least one conservative justice to prevent the Supreme Court from overturning Roe v. Wade.
