Chief Justice tumbles at Maine summer home - CNN.com

Chief Justice John Roberts has been taken to a hospital as a "precaution" after falling at his summer home in Maine, the Supreme Court said Monday.

Roberts was at his vacation home in Port Clyde, Maine. The court's spokeswoman said the chief justice, 52, was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

The spokeswoman said she did not know how Roberts fell or what injuries he might have suffered. He was conscious after the fall, the spokeswoman added.

Roberts, 52, was appointed by President Bush and has served as chief justice since September 2005.

He has two small children and no known medical conditions. At 52, he is the youngest of the high court's nine justices.

I wonder if he slipped on a pretzel?
