Roberts suffered lightheadedness and dehydration, fall was not related to earlier seizures, court says.
The Supreme Court belatedly disclosed Tuesday night that Chief Justice John Roberts was hospitalized overnight last month after becoming dehydrated and falling while exercising.
The 65-year-old justice required stitches and was released the morning following the June 21 incident, the court told The Washington Post in a statement.
The fall at a Maryland country club was not related to two prior seizures the chief justice has suffered, the last in 2007, court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg told the newspaper.
“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. The injury required sutures, and out of an abundance of caution, he stayed in the hospital overnight and was discharged the next morning,' Arberg said. "His doctors ruled out a seizure. They believe the fall was likely due to light-headedness caused by dehydration."
Roberts, who was appointed chief justice in 2005 by President George W. Bush and confirmed by a GOP-led Senate, last suffered a seizure while vacationing in Maine in June 2007.
Over the last month, he played key roles in two decisions that disappointed conservatives. He sided with the court's liberal bloc in 5-4 decisions that struck down a Louisiana law restricting abortions and blocking President Trump from taking action against child immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, commonly known as DACA.
P
“I have information that may lead —” (trips, falls) ?
Belated? Sure. Liberals hardly want it known that Trump could be in a position to nominate TWO new Supremes
If Roberts hit his head... maybe that explains his ‘opinions’
Ah, sure symptoms of advance RINOness, malfunctioning justice genes, and just plain duplicity.
So he waits 3 weeks to mention this?

Article later admits to two earlier seizures.
Likely a lie, probably at least double that.
roberts is now a hollow shell, taking orders from geriatric zombie, gin drunk ginsburg.
ginsburg is the Borg
Yeah, over drinking can cause a bit light headedness or he could have stood up after a few and found out he didn’t have the legs for as much as he drank that night
“ginsburg is the Borg”
What an insult to the Borg.
She is on their “don’t even think of assimilating that rag” list.
The deep state sent their message.
Earlier seizures?? That could explain a lot!!
Better luck next time?
I heard the guy on the left has a mean right hook.
How the hell do you get dehydrated....and not feel it?
If that witch RBG dies before the election, the antifa thugs will riot in the streets again to create more election chaos.
Sorry but I don’t believe a word of this story. Any witnesses?
