John Robert’s seizure may not have any particular significance in the course of the court. It appears at this time that he is fine and suffering no ill effects.
He has had a prior seizure, in 1993, but there are no indications of anything that would prevent him serving, though having a second seizure, even after a 14 year interval might indicate a need for him to go on some prophylactic anti-seizure medication.
My diagnosis is that he had an attack of conscience, about once every 14 years for that sounds about right for a Republican, but I’m an engineer, not a doctor, dammit!*
*Man…I just love it when I can go all “reverse Doctor McCoy”!!!!
