Justice Roberts had a fall, taken to hospital. NO other details as of yet.
Update: Fox News
Chief Justice John Roberts Suffered Seizure, Remains in Hospital
Monday, July 30, 2007
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts suffered what is being described by doctors as a "benign idiopathic seizure" after falling Monday at his summer home in Maine.
He is staying in Penobscot Bay Medical Center overnight for observation, court officials told FOX News.

Dehydration can certainly affect brain chemistry.
There is a modern medication for seizure disorder called Topomax. I have a friend with the disorder and that medicine gave her back her life.
It was typically a blood chemistry imbalance for the conditions. We eat different things when it's hot or cold.
I was hospitalized for seizures, and it phyiscally hurts me to think of him in that situation. It’s a horribly painful situation, perhaps the most painful thing there is, even though you mostly forget it. It’s a glimpse into death and hell, but blurry, and I hope he recovers without any memories of it.
The judge would do well to keep the suit off for the rest of his vacation. I don't like switching between a 30F temp change several times a day. One or the other is just fine.
We’re in a HUGE dilema if we have a Justice retire! A DemoncRat controlled Senate will NEVER allow a conservative person to be a Supreme Court Justice!
And NOW it looks like we’re going to have a DemoncRat win the Presidency!!
Look at how long and what a struggle we had with Thomas, Bork, Alito, and Roberts!
We need to get majority back with the Pubs if we want to see two other conservative Justices.
But it will never happen because they’ve all been silenced through this Pelosi charge of “culture of corruption.”
Do we have ANY Republicans that WILL stand up, SPEAK OUT, and LEAD??
Why didn’t you just say “what a relief?” LOL
Over here, I don’t say “phew”. Further, we don’t call soda pop like they do in the midwest. I bet you call it “pop” don’t you?
Dasani water is from the UK. That’s out for me too. Think of who may be bottling that stuff. I’m just saying.
Yes, I am guilty with the pop thing. :)
My wife is from Texas and calls it coke. Drives me insane.
