Unfortunately-NOT TRUE---John Roberts, Chief Justice---Resignation Rumor

John Roberts, Chief Justice, Subject of Today's Resignation Rumor (Update: Which is Not True)
By Roy Edroso, Thursday, Mar. 4 2010 @ 12:55PM

Well, Drudge and Radar have this, so we guess we gotta: Somebody says Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is "seriously considering stepping down from the nation's highest court for personal reasons."

Roberts was born in blah blah blah, and served as blah before being chosen by President George W. Bush to serve as Chief Justice in blah (2005).

Other sources say it's bullshit.

More details as they blah.

Update: Radar retracts.
