CNN.com reports:
Chief Justice John Roberts suffered a seizure Monday, causing him to fall while at his summer home off the coast of Maine, the Supreme Court said.
Chief Justice John Roberts was taken to a hospital in Maine after a fall at his summer home.
Roberts has “fully recovered from the incident,” and a neurological evaluation “revealed no cause for concern,” the Supreme Court said in a statement.
Doctors called the incident a “benign idiopathic seizure,” similar to one suffered by the chief justice in 1993, the court statement said. An idiopathic seizure is one with no identifiable physiological cause.
We don’t know much in terms of the details — to the extent they are knowable — but Lyle Denniston has a bit more at SCOTUSBlog.
