New Chief Justice Roberts fell, is hospitalized.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. fell near his summer home in Maine today and was taken to an area hospital as a precaution, a Supreme Court spokeswoman said.

Roberts, 52, took a fall near his home in Port Clyde, Maine, said Kathleen Landin Arberg.

She had no further details about the severity of the injury, but said Roberts was conscious and taken to the hospital by ambulance as a precaution.


Jim Lehrer on the PBS NewsHour ending summary said that Roberts had had a seizure, but I've seen nothing in print about that.

[edit:] He apparently had a similar incident in 1993. The NY Times has [link|http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/washington/AP-Scotus-Roberts3.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin|more].

He "picked" a good time to have a medical issue since the Court won't be in session again until October.

Cheers,
Scott.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
