Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This resolution would impeach Deborah Boardman, a federal district judge in Maryland, and send one article of impeachment to the U.S. Senate for trial. The article centers on her October 3, 2025 sentence of Nicholas John Roske, who was found guilty of attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. She sentenced him to eight years in prison and lifetime supervised release, while the Department of Justice had recommended 30 years. The resolution states that she considered Roske's transgender identity and pre-trial confinement conditions in sentencing, and it says she should be removed from office.
