Well, that sounds much better. At least he is awake etc. Hope it’s not too serious.

Sounds like this hospital stay is out of an abundance of caution. No details on what kind of spill he took.

Which is more than can be said for some of his SCOTUS colleagues when the Court is in session... /grin

re:About to enter his second term,

What the heck does that mean?

I hope he didn’t hit his head and wake up a liberal, like what happened to Gilligan on the coconut episode.

Watch Schumer hold a press conference declaring Roberts unfit for the HIgh Court and that he will pick the next Supreme Court Justice.

I think it means that someone can't count. This will be the Chief's 3rd term.
