Chief Justice Roberts has "a benign idiopathic seizure"

Seems the Chief Justice is doing fine, just a little seizure like one he had 14 years ago. No biggie. If you have more than one seizure you get to be called an epileptic. Idiopathic means from an obscure of unknown cause. Seizures without serious causes are called benign. Seems that one every fourteen years or so is not too much to worry about. But then, he is Chief Justice and one of a handful of things that Bush The Second has done that we will all be living with for a while.
The real concern might be something along the lines of, oh I don’t know, could having his brain short circuit every once in a while impair his judgment? Caesar was a great guy and conquered the known world while have seizures. We have all these gee whiz medicines now that are supposed to stop this sort of thing. Still, the man’s job boils down to his listening to arguments and deciding who is right or wrong. In other words, using his brain.
Being the youngest member of the court, as well as it’s Big Kahuna, he might be sitting there for forty or fifty years. They have all these drug tests now in Cycling, Baseball, Football and You-Name-It, are there some kind of tests to find out how well someone thinks? If there are, I think we need mandatory testing for our Supreme Court Justices. If it works out, using it on the rest of the government might not be a bad idea.
