Noticed that as well.

One of my parents had that, benign essential tremor. But I think it was probably just the some nervousness caused by the uniqueness of the situation.

I instantly thought of ALS which often starts with just a slight tremor and then it progresses into a horrifying disease. I hope that's just my morbid mind.

As doctors like to say about diagnoses: when you hear hoof beats in the night, you should first presume it's horses and not zebras.
I'd vote for an essential tremor rather than going immediately to ALS.

Since I'm old, I really thought it was essential tremor and was pleased when I learned that something as simple as not drinking wine would cause it to stop.

the trial into a white wing wash.

If it’s medical, lots of older folks have tremors and are fine.

Booze is the drug of choice for old white fascists.

But carry on.

There is no evidence, nor indication that Chief Justice Roberts is a fascist.

Flavor the made fascism “great”.

Amazing to find defenders of the Roberts’ court here.

He's a corporate tool, sure. But what the fuck does that have to do with being drunk?

Whenever a noob claims to be "amazed" to find something at DU, (particularly something which was not even expressed), my antenna starts to tingle.

When it comes to conservatives, that is meant ironically.

I cannot do anything about parts of you that "tingle". Have you considered consulting a neurologist?

or their ability to cause shaking or tremors...but my friends/family who take prescription meds for depression and or anxiety tell me this is a side effect. I have no clue of this is fact...it is just anecdotal information.

Lots of things can cause tremors.

The dreaded combover

But noticeable.

imho. CJ Roberts is my age and personal experience tells me a little shakiness kind of comes with the territory.

and was taken to the hospital years ago.

Yes they would, GD. I can’t imagine.

This is a very rare and historic event.How could he not be nervous unless Trump loaned him some meds?

Didn’t they have to redo it later? I remember some right wingnut people saying he wasn’t really president because of how it was worded not even realizing they did correct it. The guy is probably a nervous wreck on a big stage.

How many people could name all of them, or point them out in a crowd?

The harsh media spotlight is rarely turned directly on them.

When it turns in their direction, especially for something as historic as this, it probably makes them cherish their privacy even more.

My sister has one.

to be a bit more noticeable when she's upset, stressed or tired (which being a mom to a teen, a tween and an 8 yr old drama llama is most of the time lately. )

I'm certainly no fan of Chief Justice Roberts but sometimes the simplest answer is the best until it's been proven that it's something truly serious we need to be concerned about.

my mother when she was nervous, anxious or stressed.

of a president, I would probably be nervous enough to have some shakes too!

Usually the simplest explanation is the right one.

While I've not seen it before, I've not had time to research if it's been noted in the past, or if he's just not comfortable in the current shoes he's filling.

It was obvious today, that's for sure.

to the paper shaking.

US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was hospitalized July 30 after reportedly having a seizure. Press reports state he also had a seizure 14 years ago. Everyone at epilepsy.com and its parent organization, The Epilepsy Therapy Project , would like to wish Chief Justice Roberts a speedy recovery.

While further details about Chief Justice Roberts have not been made public, the news report has raised many questions about types of seizures and their relationship to epilepsy. A seizure is a sudden excessive discharge of nervous-system electrical activity that usually causes a change in behavior. This surge of electrical activity in the brain usually affects how a person feels or acts for a short time. Seizures are not a disease in themselves. Instead, they are a symptom of many different disorders that can affect the brain. Some seizures are barely noticeable, while others are totally disabling.

drags him out into a very public situation where he knows he will be reviled by a lot of people no matter what he does. It’s the last thing he wants.

could have made him nervous.

and is showing his nervousness?

He's basically untouchable for life.

And what do you mean by "her?" Roberts is a him.

his tiny conscience is actually causing his hand to shake as he presides over the downfall of this country.
