Chief Justice Roberts Suffers Seizure
Chief Justice John Roberts suffered a seizure yesterday in his home in Maine and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Around 2 p.m., Roberts was taken from his home on Hupper Island to the mainland on a private boat; from there he was transferred to an ambulance.
A spokeswoman said the chief justice, 52, was taken to the hospital as a precaution. He was said to be “fine” this morning.

While the court is trying to brush off this incident by blaming it on stress, I have qualms of Roberts’ ability to serve. This is not his first seizure (the last one occurred in 1993) and TIME magazine had an interesting article today questioning whether Roberts is epileptic.
TIME:
“Doctors classify anyone who has experienced two or more unexplained seizures as having epilepsy, a disorder in which the electrical activity of the brain is interrupted, similar to a surge on an electrical line, for brief periods of time.”
