This is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives on October 17, 2025, that seeks to impeach Judge Deborah Boardman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The resolution accuses Judge Boardman of high crimes and misdemeanors and violating the constitutional requirement that federal judges maintain "good behavior" while in office.

The core allegation centers on Judge Boardman's sentencing decision in October 2025 in the case of Nicholas John Roske, who was convicted of attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June 2022. According to the resolution, Roske engaged in extensive premeditation—traveling from California to Maryland with weapons and tools, researching how to kill people and break into homes, and explicitly stating his intent to kill a Supreme Court justice. The Department of Justice recommended a 30-year sentence. However, Judge Boardman sentenced Roske to only 8 years plus lifetime supervised release.

The resolution argues that Judge Boardman's significantly lighter sentence was influenced by her personal beliefs rather than the law, specifically citing her consideration of Roske's gender identity as a transgender woman when making the sentencing decision. The sponsors contend this represents an abuse of judicial power, allowing ideology to override legal duty and the rule of law. If this resolution passes the House, it would proceed to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Judge Boardman should be removed from office.
