What's wrong with our legal system?
David DePape, the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul, has already faced a trial, was sentenced to 30 years in prison. His crime took place in October 2022.
Meanwhile, Nicholas Roske, who showed up at U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home with a gun and other dangerous objects with the intention of killing him, hasn't even been tried yet. And his crime happened months before the attack on Paul Pelosi!

A few weeks ago the The free beacon of Washington pointed out that the case against Roske is moving slowly and no one seems to know why:
Biden DOJ Conducts Slow Walk 'Slam Dunk' Case Against Man Who Allegedly Tried to Kill Judge Kavanaugh, Baffles Experts
President Joe Biden's Justice Department is dragging its feet in its prosecution of Nicholas Roske, the man accused of killing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, leaving legal experts baffled by the slow pace of the case.
Roske was charged with the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice nearly two years ago, in June 2022, after allegedly traveling from his parents' home in California to the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. with the intention of Kavanaugh to kill. Roske, a biological male who identified as a transgender woman in some online posts, was angry about the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that was overturned Roe v. WadeAccording to court documents…
“It is remarkable that after almost two years there is still no trial date or plea agreement in this case,” Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at The Lawfare Project, told the Free beacon. “Although pretrial motions would resolve questions about the admissibility of some of the evidence, including statements made by Roske, there is no underlying procedural reason why it would take so long to get to trial.”
Is criminal justice in the United States now dependent on the politics of the people who are victims of crimes?
In this case it certainly looks like this.
