Chief Justice Has Mysterious SeizurePosted on Jul 31, 2007Chief Justice John Roberts was hospitalized Monday (and released Tuesday) after experiencing a seizure, his second. Doctors were unable to find a cause in either case, leading one neurologist unrelated to the episode to observe: “Having two seizures so many years apart without any known culprit is going to be very difficult to figure out.”

“You people are sick. And nuts to boot. No wonder why the left is out of touch.”
In order for me to get the full meaning of your post I must have definitions for “You people” “The left” and “out of touch”
Thank you in advance.

I heard that Roberts was forced to actually look at the constitution and had a seizure as a result. Theyre doing this more with Bushs cronies, as a way to deter them from doing it in the future.
No Goff, This is what happened to Gonzo. Way back during his first preparation sessions for his first appearance they tried to force him to actually read the constitution, and thats how his hair got so much bigger.
Roberts, on the other hand, has far more experience with the Constitution. So, I think theres something else going on here. Theres something spooky about ALL of these dudes having these medical issues come up every weekend, for the past three.. We started with the shrubs colonoscopy, and then the next week, cheney was in to have his hardware swapped out, and now Roberts (the Chief Justice) has a trip to the hospital as well. In MAINE, no less, where the whole Cabal has their Summer Compound. Kind of like their headquarters.
So, Im thinking this is just part of a project to get all of them programmed and properly synchronized.
Now Todd thinks were all sick, and nuts, and out of touch. There is probably some truth to that, but unfortunately, I think were more in touch than out of it. Its just that the reality is so bizarre, (stranger than fiction) that in recognizing it, we DO seem like the ones who are out of touch.
Thats the paradox weve lived in, for at least 7 years.
Meantime, I doubt very seriously if there was any stroke of conscience going on here. Roberts has helped us move about 50 years back, and that has nothing to do with conscience.

Probably just an alergic reaction.
Maybe he ran into an honest man when he was in town.
Or, an inner ear infection.
What’s been buzzing in there anyway?
Or maybe ardee’s right.
Maybe the cause was the least likely of all ...
an attack of conscience!
But I doubt it, he’s probably been fully immunized.

Todd,
Go read some of the posts on the Hannity.com forums. Then tell me who is out of touch. Big difference between humor and hate.

My money is on an attack of conscience. It will pass to be sure.

Believe it or don’t, he’s actually one of the less nutcase Bush appointees. Perhaps the “seizure” was just a way of reminding him to keep to the party line. Better than being forced to go on a shooting trip with Cheney, maybe.

You people are sick. And nuts to boot. No wonder why the left is out of touch.

Gosh, golly, gee whiz!
I have no empathy, sympathy, or interest in that man maintaining his health.
Unfortunately for the American people, even “retired” justices are taking to the soapbox to prevent Constitutional rights of citizens.
Sandra Day O’Connor seems to have made it her goal to fight judicial accountability with the usual legal tactics ... misrepresentation, misleading, and innuendo.
