Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. suffered a fall at a Maryland country club last month that required an overnight stay in the hospital, a Supreme Court spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday night.
The 65-year-old chief justice was taken by ambulance to a hospital after the June 21 incident at the Chevy Chase Club, which was serious enough to require sutures. He stayed at the hospital overnight for observation and was released the next morning.

The guy who voted alongside the left wing justices in several high profile cases recently? The guy who handed the president a couple of very high profile defeats in the courts recently?

Nothing suspicious there...I'm sure it wasn't someone "reminding" him of how he's "supposed to vote."
