MICHAEL SAVAGE, JUSTICE ROBERTS & THE NY TIMES

Savage is one of the clowns blaming seizure medications for the Roberts decision and he refers people to an 8/1/2007 article in the Times for support.  You can read the article here and although it does mention possible side effects of medication, it does not state that Roberts would inevitably have them if he took medication.

Here are the relevant excerpts:

“If he takes medication, he is likely to do fine and be seizure-free,” said Dr. Gregory L. Barkley, a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy and is clinical vice chairman of the neurology department at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

Dr. Barkley said he did not expect the illness or the treatment to affect the chief justice’s ability to do his job.
