I hate that I had to look that up to be sure whether or not you were being facetious.
I don’t see any reason to treat it differently than any other vacancy. Except trying to take away the motive for the next guy, but I don’t think anyone would give up a chance to get someone they wanted on the Court for such a reason.
So very much this.
I have become a monster and it’s in no way my fault.
Maryland is may-issue. I doubt Kavanaugh thinks their gun law is constitutional.
But I hope I am proven wrong when the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v Bruen ruling comes out in the next month or so.
Left? Hardly:
““Roske indicated that he believed the justice that he intended to kill would side with Second Amendment decisions that would loosen gun control laws,” the affidavit said.”
So Kavanaugh isn’t far-right enough for this guy.
He was afraid that Kavanaugh would loosen gun-control laws. In other words, he wanted tighter gun control.
At least, if this guy is speaking coherently, which is not something to be taken for granted in cases like this.
Interesting point of view you’re revealing here. If offering thoughts and prayers after a gun-related crime is a meaningless gesture then it’s been so all the times conservatives have done it.
Wounding counts too.
No, no, it’s different when they do it. Because they’re Compassionate Conservatives™ and not Godless Antifa Marxists like Nancy Pelosi doing their best to sell out the country to Russia China Cuba. Yeah, Cuba…they’re the real strategic threat to American values.

Certainly true. Putting an eye out, wrench to the kneecap, …hair touselling? Would a hair touselling count? Maybe a forceful enough hair touselling.

Roske, who was 26 when he was arrested, intends to plead guilty to attempting to murder a justice of the United States without reaching a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, according to his lawyers. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
I think it is crazy to agree to a sentence which could result in life in prison without a plea agreement for a substantially reduced sentence considering the circumstances of the attempt.
I don’t understand why anyone would agree to that, unless the lawyers are just terrible.
Maybe he is afraid of being “disappeared” to another country’s prison through “bureaucratic error”?
Some people (not many) just want to take their lumps and not drag it out. Also, I’m sure he’s been told the chances of some amount of leniency from the judge is greater with a plea, even if the government isn’t part of the deal. His lawyers know more about the judge that will sentence him than we do, and perhaps correctly advised him that this was the safest path.
