Roberts has emerged as the pivotal justice at a pivotal moment for the Supreme Court.
“The Chief Justice was treated at a hospital on June 21 for an injury to his forehead sustained in a fall while walking for exercise near his home,” Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg said. “The injury required sutures, and out of an abundance of caution, he stayed in the hospital overnight and was discharged the next morning. His doctors ruled out a seizure. They believe the fall was likely due to light-headedness caused by dehydration.
The 1993 seizure occurred while golfing and resulted in Roberts not driving for several months as a precaution. The episode was disclosed as part of his confirmation process, but was not raised by senators during the hearings as a serious issue. During Roberts’ July 2007 seizure, he fell from a dock and was hospitalized for a night. “Roberts has not released detailed information about his health or whether he takes medication because of those incidents,” the Washington Post reports.
