Chief Justice Roberts has seizure

[spice]

John Roberts, Chief Stooge, er, I mean...Chief Justice of the Supreme
Farce, er, I mean Supreme Court....has had a seizure at his vacation residence in Maine.

The news reported that he has a history of this, too....he had one ~ 14 years ago. I'm curious as to his underlying medical condition and whether or not W was aware of it. He probably was, but didn't care, as long as he could determine policy by proxy while the clique is in power.

Hopefully, this guy will decide that a nice retirement in Florida is preferable to being a pawn on a chessboard of evil.

I wouldn't want to wish death on him, but that would be preferable to what he's helping THEM do to what's left of the country.

While it's true that Roberts is against freedom of speech, due process, the need for a search warrant, and the right for women to control their own bodies, I don't think we should hold a seizure against him. I don't think he was lying when he stated that he was in "excellent health" during confirmation either.

One out of 100 people have confirmed epilepsy and most can lead completely normal lives especially if they find a medication with works for them without side effects.

What probably happened was that he had one seizure several years ago. He probably went on medication and stopped driving for whatever the legal amount of time required for the state the lived in. (Somewhere between 3 months and 1 year...or whatever the Dr says.) After a few years, he probably felt that the seizure was idiopathic (or idiosyncratic as the White House was quoted as saying...idiots), didn't indicate that he had a tendency, and weened off the medication. It seems obvious now that he does have a tendency towards seizures and had another. (two in a life time is very low).

I would guess that now he will start some medication again, not drive for the prescribed amount of time, and stay on the medication if he wants to safely drive etc. Depending on the meds he chooses, it's possible that he will mellow out a bit...which could be either good or bad.

I also wouldn't characterize him as a pawn. He is much more clever, powerful, and shrewd than that, which makes him much more dangerous than... say...Clearance Thomas.

Two seizures in a lifetime is very low, I agree, but two seizures= a medical definition of epilepsy. So we have an epileptic judge as chief of the supreme court. The entire swing of issues affecting generations in this country is riding on the chance that he wont have a seizure pissing and hit his head...o-kay...

...and you're right, not a pawn, maybe a rook...but he's cut from the same material as Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld....they make these guys with fucking cookie-cutters or something.
