MIKE DAVIS: 2 assassination plots, 2 judges and 2 brands of justice
Fox News' Danamarie McNicholl reports on the sentencing of Ryan Routh in the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump on 'Special Report.'
This is a tale of two federal judges — one Trump appointee and one Biden appointee—who separately sentenced two men for their attempted assassinations of a former (and future) president of the United States and a current Supreme Court justice. The Trump judge correctly followed the facts and the law, sentencing the would-be President Trump assassin to life; the Biden judge dangerously followed her political and ideological agenda, sentencing the would-be Justice Kavanaugh assassin — because he now pretends he’s a woman — to less than one-third of the recommended sentence.

On Sept. 15, 2024, Ryan Wesley Routh took his position in a sniper’s nest at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. He chambered a round into his SKS rifle, which, as a convicted felon, he had no legal right to possess. He then aimed at President Trump and his entourage. By the grace of God, a Secret Service agent saw the rifle barrel poking through the bushes and saved Trump’s life from his second assassination attempt in just two months. On Tuesday, South Florida U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon sent Routh to rot in a cage for the rest of his miserable life. Cannon understood the gravity of the moment and passed the test.
