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 .
