Chief Justice Roberts Hospitalized After Fall

Chief Justice John Roberts has been hospitalized, apparently as a precaution, following a fall at his island home in Maine. Details are still sketchy, but it appears that he was not seriously injured, thank the Lord.

Update and bump: The AP reports that it was a seizure, and that this is not Roberts' first seizure, leading to a probable diagnosis of epilepsy coming in the near future.

Over at Wizbang's comments section, there's been some speculation about Roberts being asked to resign because of this. I said there, and I say again here, if anyone tries that, they'll be tarred and feathered for being anti-disabled. There is nothing in epilepsy that would make Roberts unfit to serve on the Court.

However, part of me wants the lefties to try it, just for the fireworks.
