Bill > HRes818

This resolution seeks to impeach Deborah Boardman, a United States District Court Judge for the District of Maryland, for high crimes and misdemeanors, primarily focusing on her sentencing of Nicholas John Roske, who attempted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The resolution details Roske's premeditated plan to kill Justice Kavanaugh, including his extensive research on weapons, infiltration techniques, and travel to Kavanaugh's home with multiple dangerous tools. The key criticism centers on Judge Boardman's sentencing decision, where she gave Roske eight years and lifetime supervised release instead of the 30-year sentence recommended by the Department of Justice. The resolution argues that Boardman improperly considered Roske's transgender identity and allowed her personal ideology to influence her judicial decision, thereby violating her oath of office and the constitutional standard of "good behavior" for judges. By undermining the gravity of Roske's attempted assassination and potentially interfering with the President's constitutional prerogatives, the resolution contends that Judge Boardman has abused her judicial authority and should be removed from office.
