Chief justice at hospital after fall

WASHINGTON - Chief Justice John Roberts was taken by ambulance to a hospital on Monday after a fall on a dock near his summer home in Maine.


Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said she did not know how he fell or what injuries he might have suffered. She said he was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Roberts, 52, bought a home last year in Port Clyde on Maine's Hupper Island. Port Clyde, which is part of the town of St. George, is about 90 miles by car northeast of Portland, midway up the coast of Maine.

3. Yup. I suspect his fall was caused by something.
VERY unusual for leadership staff not to update the public about injuries to public officials, mostly to calm the public and calm markets around the world. Something like this can cause billions of dollars of value to be sheared from markets around the world.

I am keeping my fingers crossed, hoping for the best for this country.
