US supreme court justice 'doing fine' - White House

WASHINGTON - US Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday assured President George W. Bush that he was "doing fine" a day after suffering a seizure and fall, said White House spokesman Tony Snow.
Bush telephoned Roberts, who "assured him that he was doing fine. The president was reassured. He said that he sounded like he was in great spirits and he was doing well," Snow told reporters.
The US Supreme Court said in a statement on Monday that Roberts was out of danger and unharmed after the incident, which occurred near his vacation home in the US state of Maine.
Appointed by Bush in 2005, Roberts, at 52, is the youngest of the nine justices on the high court.
