Just heard it on John Gibson's Big Story. I hope I'm wrong but that's how I heard it.
He had a seizure according to this:
http://www.mainecoastnow.com/articles/2007/07/30/courier_-_gazette/breaking_news/doc46ae4b38ad879059499505.txt
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., a seasonal resident of Hupper Island, located off Port Clyde, was taken to Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport mid-day Monday.
St. George Ambulance responded to a call at about 2 p.m. Monday of a man who had fallen 5 to 10 feet and landed on a dock, hitting the back of his head. The patient was ashen and was foaming at the mouth. The patient had reportedly suffered a grand mal seizure and was transported to Penobscot Bay Medical Center.
As of Monday afternoon, Penobscot Bay Medical Center would not confirm that Roberts was a patient.
Roberts and his wife, Jane Roberts, purchased their home on Hupper Island in June 2006. The island is located a few hundreds yards off Port Clyde and is only accessible by boat.
Roberts, 52, was appointed as chief justice by President George W. Bush and has served since Sept. 29, 2005.
More information will be provided as it becomes available.
Prayers up for our Chief Justice.

As is usual with me, I check out DU to see what they are saying and they didn't let me down. Not all, but most, are wishing Roberts ill. Sickening!
Pray for Roberts.
Suit yourself. I’ve seen posts here based on less.
Roberts suffered a seizure 13 years ago while on the golf course. He wasn’t allowed to drive for several months and took the bus to work. Doctors never figured out the problem.
I perused the messages of all threads until I made it to the Click for More point. The only news regarding the Chief Justice was this thread.
he has epilepsy?
We truly do not know what transpired yet based on the sporadic news reports however what you heard was true...
Sadly some on here like their news after the mainlame stream media reports it....
Long before John Roberts was a federal judge, he apparently suffered a seizure while playing golf. It was in January 1993, while he was in private practice. News reports at the time say he was not allowed to drive for several months and took the bus to work. There’s no indication that doctors ever figured out what happened. The White House called it an “isolated, idiosyncratic seizure.”
TEGRETOL! QUICK!
Watching “Tucker” live. Still no report on MSNBC.
Prayers up for Justice Roberts. May he recover fully.
Thanks. I was beginning to feel like a kicked dog. I know I would have wanted someone to post it ASAP even with that little information.
Thnaks for posting, Proud.
I just heard on the local news that he was taken to the hospital as a precaution. They don’t know the nature or extent of the injuries, but it is reassuring to hear that the hospital trip was just a precaution.
