Federal Court Filing Confirms Leak of SCOTUS Draft Ruling on Roe v Wade Inspired Assassination Attempt of Justice Kavanaugh
A federal court filing confirms the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft ruling on Roe v Wade inspired the assassination attempt of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
A draft of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to Politico’s senior legal reporter Josh Gerstein in May 2022.
Via Politico: “The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.”
Justice Alito’s opinion is a “full-throated, unflinching repudiation” according to Politico.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito wrote in the draft that was leaked to the media. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Shortly after the draft ruling was leaked, Nicholas Roske of California tried to break into Kavanaugh’s Maryland home and kill him.
Roske found Kavanaugh’s home by seeing his house number in a news article about the protests in front of his home.
“There was an article that had a picture of the family’s house and I looked at the house number,” Roske told FBI agents. “So I just came out here.”
Roske took a taxi to Kavanaugh’s home but noticed security posted up on the front lawn. At this point Roske walked to the next street and texted his sister. His sister convinced him to call 911 rather than carry out his murder-suicide plot.
According to the court filing, Roske told a federal agent that he wanted to kill Kavanaugh after he saw the leaked draft.
“My plan was to kill Mr. Kavanaugh and then myself,” Roske told a federal agent.
When asked why, Roske responded, “I’ve been suicidal for a long time, and when I saw that the leaked draft, it made me upset and then it made me want to — I don’t know. I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him.”
