Supreme Court spokesperson Kathy Arberg confirmed on Tuesday night that Chief Justice John Roberts was hospitalized in June after he fell and suffered a head wound.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1319188
“They believe the fall was likely due to light-headedness caused by dehydration.”
That’s all water under the bridge, now, though.

Dehydration? Must have been out all night with Kav.

Can his pot be glued back together?

He has a history of seizures, two that are known to have occurred. There’s speculation that he has epilepsy.

That would explain all the secrecy.

I’m surprised it was kept quiet as long as it was. They know if RBG has a runny nose before she reaches for a tissue.

Whatever happened stay hydrated. I stupidly went for a modest walk yesterday afternoon, came back drenched, a shower didn’t really help because I was pouring sweat and not feeling tiptop. Steadied up after a while but that wasn’t smart. Will head out before lunch in hot weather from now on or not at all.

“They believe the fall was likely due to light-headedness caused by dehydration,” the spokesperson said.
So, definitely a seizure.

Didn’t he fall down another time as well? According to wikipedia, in 2007 he fell down and had a seizure. It could not be determined what caused it. He also had another seizure in 1993. He’s like Julius Caesar with what they used to call the falling sickness. Sounds a little bit like epilepsy to me.
Also from Wikipedia:
Federal judges are not required by law to release information about their health.

Be careful! This hot spell really sucks. Try to get all the watering done in the morning. We had new landscaping put in last fall, and we’re not going to risk losing any of it.
Might rain today, tomorrow, or Friday. It almost always seems to miss us though. Storms go north, south or dissipate just before they get to the edge of town.

Is he being treated for a seizure disorder?
Now that Roberts has voted with the liberal wing a couple of times “they” need to give evangelicals some juice to turn out for God Emperor Trump.

“Seizure” is a pretty broad term. I on occasion have petit mal “events” that most people don’t even notice (my wife spots them). But if he’s having a grand mal seizure in public, there is no way that stays hidden.

I’ve been thinking that if the stars align correctly, the makeup of the court could change dramatically in the near future. Keeps me slightly more optimistic.
Align, darn it!

Furthermore, is Roberts taking medication to suppress seizures? Side effects of said medication?
And we have another week of this crap according to the 10 day forecast.

Yeah, I’m the same age and we sometimes rediscover to our embarrassment that our balance and leg strength aren’t what they used to be.
It’s annoying as hell.

Supreme court decision just in that sides with tRumpthumpers that religious organizations are allowed to deny contraceptive coverage to women. Quell surprise.
