Even before he botched administering the Oath of Office to President Obama, Chief Justice John Roberts seemed somewhat unwell today. I was forcibly reminded that he has a history of seizures — at least two that we know of since 1993.
If I were FOX News, I’d be worried less about whether Roberts’ slip-up with the oath somehow means that Obama is not president, than I would about what this might say about Roberts’ health. He was picked by Bush’s conservative minders because they thought he was going to be Chief Justice for decades after Bush left the White House. I have a feeling that this might not turn out the way they’d expected.

Just because someone has a seizure disorder is no reason to write them off.
That was the first thing I thought of, his past seizures or possibly the medication he takes to control the seizures.
Perhaps he was just nervous. He probably didn’t want Obama to be elected, either. Let’s face it, that flub is going to be replayed for all eternity, so for Robert’s sake, let’s hope he was just nervous.
STOP IT. you’re making me want to shout and dance about again! I can’t take this much hope and change. I’m wondering if the wingnuts or my head will explode faster if this happens.

What makes you think so?
