John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, is seriously considering stepping down from the nation’s highest court for personal reasons, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Roberts, known for his conservative judicial philosophy, has served on the Supreme Court since 2005, having been nominated by President George W. Bush after the death of former Chief William Rehnquist.
RadarOnline.com has been told that Roberts, 55, could announce his decision at any time.
The decision paves the way for President Barack Obama to make his second appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court following his first, Sonia Sotomayor.
Yeah I saw that Radar online report man now Radar online is cover Wash OH GEE LOUIZE what next TMZ
DAMN, I hope this is not true...
Maybe because the poster didn't know it was fake at the time she posted it?
Most likely Hillary.
They must have impeachable dirt on him...that's all I can think of.
Roberts has to know that his leaving the SCOTUS would signal the end of The USA and most likely the beginning of the shooting part of CW2. If he is ANY kind of patriot ... he will stay until they literally carry him out boots first
If this is true, and if it happens, this will be the single biggest national disaster to occur during the Obamanation administration. We should all be praying that Roberts doesn’t do this.
He will go after the WWII generation retirees that are on Medicare.
I’m laughing at liberals and their wet dreams, disgusting though they be.
..that's what I was thinking..he had a seizure while vacationing in Maine a few years ago... "benign idiopathic seizure" it was described as with "no identifiable physiological cause".
.."A source close to the chief justice told CNN that Roberts fell five to 10 feet after the seizure."

Sorry for that last ping... I hope this isn’t true, but I think maybe the source of this story “Radar Online” may be suspect...
I have got a sick feeling it is true..and it is just a matter of time before we all get the bad news....
I am trying to stay positive with thoughts of..oh , it is just a gossip rag....but.............
So who’s pissed off?
I’m just commenting on the obvious. It happens every time there is breaking news.
Does my random comments piss YOU off? If so, sorry.
Whether this is false or not, I think it’s made us wake up to something.
I read a couple of days ago that Bambi wants to increase the membership of the Supreme Court, just as FDR tried to do.
We need to be vigilant.
If true, this would be an absolute disaster for the nation. What “personal reasons” could there possibly be for someone to quit on their country when their political beliefs are at stake? Ginsburg has had cancer, TWICE. Stevens is like 110. Makes no sense.
This is a stupid tabloid site do you want to post crap from the national inquirer as well?
Fear mongering by leftists?
TOP COURT SOURCE TELLS DRUDGE: ‘THIS IS NOT HAPPENING... NEWS TO ME’... DEVELOPING...
That said, I will not be the least bit surprised if Roberts steps down from CJ position, or perhaps from the Court.
