"Maryland U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman—a Biden appointee—is a national disgrace," Mike Davis, a conservative lawyer and strategist and former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, wrote on X on Friday. "She only sentenced to 8 years, instead of 30, someone who attempted to murder Justice Kavanaugh and his family in their home. Make no mistake: Today’s Democrats want conservatives killed."
Another person wrote that Boardman "needs to be removed from the bench right the f--- now," then shared a screenshot of another post mentioning that Boardman asked if Roske would be sent to a women’s prison.

"The attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a disgusting attack against our entire judicial system by a profoundly disturbed individual," she wrote on X. "@TheJusticeDept will be appealing the woefully insufficient sentence imposed by the district court, which does not reflect the horrific facts of this case."
Boardman was appointed as a U.S. magistrate judge for the District of Maryland in 2019, until she was nominated by former President Joe Biden to be a U.S. district judge. She was confirmed by the Senate in 2021.
