A California nut admitted Tuesday to trying to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh<\/a> \u2014 showing up to the conservative jurist\u2019s home with a knife, zip ties, a Glock and hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nicholas Roske, 29, faces up to life in prison for the sick June 2022 stunt<\/a>, when he showed up outside Kavanaugh\u2019s home outside Chevy Chase, Md. at 1 a.m. armed to the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Two deputy US Marshals who had been guarding Kavanaugh\u2019s residence spotted Roske in black clothing with a backpack exit a taxi and stare them down before turning around, court documents said.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unhinged Simi Valley man then dropped the dime on himself, calling police to tell them he was having homicidal and suicidal thoughts. He also confessed to wanting to kill Kavanaugh, court documents alleged. He was then arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the items Roske had on him were a Glock 17 pistol, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, duct tape, a black tactical chest rig and tactical knife and burglary tools, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told authorities that he was inspired to kill because he was outraged over a bombshell report that the Supreme Court was set to overturn Roe v. Wade \u2014 the landmark decision that guaranteed a national right to abortion access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said he was upset by the deadly elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in which an assailant gunned down 19 students and two teachers while wounding 17 others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the Supreme Court overturned Roe<\/a> about two weeks after Roske was caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors cited encrypted messages that Roske had allegedly sent detailing his desire to kill Kavanaugh and venting his concerns about Roe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople have killed judges before,\u201d he wrote in one of the messages. \u201cIm gonna stop roe v wade from being overturned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cYeah but at the end of the day biden still chooses the replacements. gop cant do sh[\u2014] about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roske pleaded guilty to attempting to kill a US Supreme Court justice. He will be sentenced Oct. 3 \u2014 and prosecutors have asked that he get 30 years behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerns over the threat of political violence against officials have grown over recent years. Trump survived multiple assassination attempts during his 2024 campaign cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n
