Chief Justice Is Hospitalized After Seizure

WASHINGTON, July 30 — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. was hospitalized Monday after suffering a seizure at his summer home in Maine, the Supreme Court announced.

The episode, described as a “benign idiopathic seizure,” was similar to one he suffered 14 years ago, according to the court’s press release. Idiopathic means that the cause of the seizure remains unknown.

He had no lasting effects from the earlier incident and was “fully recovered” from the seizure he suffered about 2 p.m. Monday, the court said, adding that the chief justice had undergone “a thorough neurological evaluation, which revealed no cause for concern.”

He was to remain overnight “as a precaution” at Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport.

The seizure caused a fall, in which he “experienced minor scrapes,” the court said.

2. I didn't know that.

It seems Justice Roberts has someone to thank for that medical coverage.

3. Not really, as we taxpayers are already forced to pay for his health insurance.

4. Hell- what about Dick Cheney?

5. If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything. Here's my thought on J.R.:

6. Fat Tony would have a problem too I would think..n/t

7. I doubt he'll even consider that.

Being unable to get health insurance is something he's never had to worry about, and never will. If someone else wants insurance, they should work for it like he did. Health insurance is a privilege, not a right. That's how a Republican thinks.
