Chief Justice Falls

Upon hearing the news that Chief Justice John Roberts was taken to the hospital following a fall today, I couldn't help but wonder if his fall knock any sense into him? According to NBC News, the fall was caused by Roberts having a seizure.

Chief Justice John Roberts suffered a seizure at his summer home in Maine on Monday, causing a fall that resulted in minor scrapes, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.

He will remain in a hospital in Maine overnight.

Roberts, 52, was taken by ambulance to the Penobscot Bay Medical Center, where he underwent a "thorough neurological evaluation, which revealed no cause for concern," Arberg said in a statement.

In 1993, Roberts had a similar episode while on a golf course.

Roberts is the the youngest chief justice in more than 200 years and the third-youngest ever to assume the office. Under his leadership the Court has taken a sharp turn to the right.
